Blanko's range here is entirely zirconia abrasives, sized and drilled to fit specific sanding machines — plus a set of buffing pads for the finishing stage rather than heavy sanding. Matching the disc to your specific machine is the first thing to check before grit.
152mm Discs for Festool-Compatible Sanders
The Blanko Professional Zirconia Sanding Discs, 152mm, 8+1 Holes are designed for Festool-compatible machines, with the multiple holes allowing dust extraction. These run from 40G through to 120G, covering an initial cut through to a finer finish.
178mm Cloth Discs: Professional and Endurance Lines
At 178mm, Blanko offers two tiers: the standard Blanko Professional Zirconia Cloth Sanding Disc, without holes, and the more heavy-duty Blanko Endurance Zirconia Cloth Sanding Disc, with a centre hole, both spanning 24G to 100G or 120G depending on the line — the Endurance range is priced higher, suggesting a longer-lasting cloth backing for tougher jobs.
202mm Discs for Lagler Trio Machines
For Lagler Trio sanders specifically, Blanko's 202mm discs come in 40G, 60G, 80G and 120G, all in zirconia with a Velcro backing.
407mm Buffing Pads for Finishing and Cleaning
Rounding out the range, the Blanko Buffing Cleaning Pads come in White and Red, sold in packs of five at 407mm — used for buffing and cleaning rather than material removal, typically at the final stage of a job.
FAQs
How do I know which disc size fits my sander?
Check your machine's specification against the disc diameter and hole pattern — the 152mm range here is built for Festool-compatible machines, while the 202mm range is specific to Lagler Trio sanders.
What's the difference between the Professional and Endurance 178mm discs?
The Endurance line is positioned as a longer-lasting option for heavier use, reflected in its higher price point — the Professional range remains a solid choice for standard jobs.
What's the difference between the white and red buffing pads?
Colour typically indicates coarseness in buffing pads, with different colours suited to different stages of cleaning or light abrasion — check the specific product page for Blanko's exact grading.
Can I use a 178mm disc on a machine designed for 152mm discs?
No — disc size needs to match your machine's pad exactly for it to fit and function safely.
Do I need different discs for solid versus engineered wood floors?
The abrasive itself works the same on both, but grit choice and pressure may need adjusting for a thinner engineered wear layer — check general sanding guidance if you're unsure.
