WALTER grinding machines – suitable for every project

Finest finishes at the best price

Does your wooden garden furniture need a fresh coat of paint? Does the peeling paint on your garden fence need to be removed, and do you need to repair any blemishes in the wood? For these kinds of household and garden jobs, you'll reach straight for the sander. This practical tool comes in handy when surfaces need to be smoothed, treated, or coatings removed. Thoroughly cleaning the surface is the best way to ensure that the new paint job not only lasts a long time but also shines.

The perfect abrasive

Choosing the right abrasive or sandpaper is crucial for a professional result. For example, different abrasives are used for wood than for metal. The product descriptions provide detailed information on which abrasives are suitable for different materials.

Depending on the application, the so-called grit distribution of the sandpaper comes into play. This indicates how closely the abrasive grains are spaced together.

• A low grit size means the sandpaper is very coarse. Ideal for removing coarse residue.
• Fine-grit sandpaper has a high grit size. This makes it ideal for subsequent surface smoothing.

WALTER'S tip: Sandpaper is a consumable item. Do you think the abrasive is worn out? Replace it immediately! Only then can you achieve the best results!

Tips and tricks for proper sharpening

1. To allow the abrasive to work on the surface, a certain amount of pressure must be applied to the grinding machine during sanding. It's best to practice on test pieces before tackling your actual project.
2. Ideally, the workpiece should be processed in several passes. First with coarse-grit sandpaper. With each subsequent pass, finer abrasives can be used.
3. When sanding wood, the sanding direction is crucial. For optimal results, the sanding machine should be guided in the direction of the wood grain, never across it.
4. To work on large areas, large-scale movements are necessary to achieve a uniform result.

WALTER safety tips for sanding

Sanding creates dust and small particles swirl through the air. Therefore, always wear safety glasses and a dust mask. Lightweight work gloves are also highly recommended.
