Vise 6″ Sanding Pad – Full Set of 8 Pads

Until recently, we have had to “borrow” sanding pads from the automotive industry. The abrasive properties of automotive sanding pads are based upon aluminum oxide which have diminishing properties. If you are using a 500-grit automotive sanding pad, the harder you apply pressure and the longer you use it, the value of the grit equivalent will increase. A 500-grit automotive sanding pad can become 1000-grit equivalent, or higher. This will give you a finished surface that you are not expecting.

Vise Sanding Pads however, were developed specifically for resurfacing bowling balls. The abrasive properties of Vise Sanding Pads are not based upon aluminum oxide but rather a more natural and durable material. The abrasive properties of our Sanding Pads do not quickly diminish. Vise Sanding Pads will eventually wear but the integrity of the abrasive properties will last much, much longer than aluminum oxide.
