This DeWalt D35 100mm 80 Grit Aluminium Oxide Disc is a no‑nonsense abrasive disc made to eat through material and leave a proper finish, not just scratch at it. On every job where I’ve used these, the grit feels like it’s just right — not too coarse that you’re digging huge gouges, and not so fine you never get anything done. The mix of abrasive grain and backing is geared for real world cutting and prepping, not showroom gloss.

If you’re after consistent performance from something you slap on a random orbit or a standard 100 mm sander, this disc gives you that — those aluminium oxide abrasive particles hold up while you push ’em hard into metal, wood or painted steel and pull off layers of surface material with fewer passes than cheap discs. It’s simple, effective, and doesn’t throw a tantrum in the middle of a task, which is exactly what you want out of abrasive sanding discs that are priced right and built tough.

Key Features:

• 80 Grit Aluminium Oxide - Hits a balance between material removal and surface refinement so you’re not constantly swapping discs.
• 100 mm Disc Diameter - A good footprint for sanding larger surface areas without overworking a small spot.
• Reinforced Backing - Keeps the disc from folding under pressure, especially when you’re working against a curve or edge.
• Uniform Grit Distribution - Makes each pass more predictable, so you don’t end up with patchy sanding marks.
• Power Sander Compatibility - Designed to fit standard 100 mm sanding pads, so you’re not wrestling with adapters.

Applications

This disc isn’t some one‑trick pony — it’s built for material removal and surface preparation whether you’re flattening welds on steel, blending edges on hardwood, or stripping layers of old paint off a panel. It’s the kind of abrasive that’ll handle general purpose sanding where you need consistent cut rate and finish quality without fuss.

Why Choose This Model

Here’s the thing — you’ve got choices when it comes to sanding discs, but something like this DeWalt abrasive disc makes sense because it walks the line between aggressive cut and finish without falling apart. In practice, that means fewer disc changes mid‑job and more time actually shaping your surface instead of babysitting your tool. And that matters a lot when you’re on the clock and can’t afford to fiddle with worn‑out abrasives.

Technical Specifications Explained

• Disc Diameter – 100 mm - Wide enough to cover good surface area so you finish jobs quicker, especially on flats.
• Grit Size – 80 - An aggressive medium grit that tears into old finishes and levels material fast without being brutal.
• Abrasive Material – Aluminium Oxide - A workhorse grain that stays sharp and resists glazing, so it cuts longer.
• Bore Diameter – 16 mm - Standard hole size that fits a range of sander pads without adapters.
• Backing Material – Reinforced - Adds structural strength so the disc resists tear‑through under heavy pressure.

Who Should Buy This

If you’re a pro or a serious DIYer needing a reliable sanding disc for general purpose use — jobs where you want solid cut rates and a decent finish without dolling out big bucks — this is it. It’s not fancy, but it won’t let you down on a fatigued surface, and it’ll keep pace with your sander.

It’s ideal for fabricators, woodworkers, metalworkers, and anyone who’s grinding, blending, prepping or refurbishing surfaces on cars, machinery, furniture or structural steel. In short, it’s one of those accessories you keep in the box because you know you’ll reach for it time and again.
