Festool D125 P500 GR/100 Granat Abrasive Discs 125mm P500 100 Piece
At a Glance: Professional P500 GRANAT abrasive discs with a 125 mm diameter and StickFix backing, supplied in a 100-piece pack for very fine sanding of modern paint systems, VOC clear coats, hard sublayers, plastics, mineral materials, acrylic, repair compounds and fillers.
The Festool D125 P500 GR/100 GRANAT abrasive discs are professional 125 mm abrasives developed for very fine sanding and high-quality surface refinement. With a P500 grit, they are ideal for later-stage sanding where the objective is to minimise fine sanding marks and prepare coated, filled or hard surfaces for polishing, recoating or another finishing process. GRANAT is Festool's universal high-performance abrasive and is particularly well suited to VOC varnishes and hard substrates. Its special coating helps prevent clogging and ensures a long service life, while the StickFix backing enables quick, secure attachment and convenient abrasive changes. GRANAT can also be used effectively on plastics, mineral materials, acrylic, repair compounds and fillers. Supplied in a professional 100-piece pack, FES497178 is ideal for painters, varnishers, drywallers, joiners and workshops that regularly carry out fine finishing work.
P500 is a very fine abrasive grade intended for later-stage surface refinement. It helps reduce the fine scratch pattern left by preceding grits such as P400 and prepares coatings, fillers and hard substrates for polishing, recoating or another high-quality finishing process.

Very fine sanding grade
P500 is intended for advanced surface refinement rather than material removal. Where deeper scratches, heavy coating build-up or substantial filler irregularities are present, begin with a coarser abrasive and progress through suitable intermediate grit sizes before using P500.

What is Festool GRANAT?
GRANAT is Festool's universal high-performance abrasive range developed for demanding professional sanding applications. It is particularly well suited to VOC varnishes and hard substrates. Its special coating helps prevent clogging and ensures a long service life, while plastics, mineral materials, acrylic, repair compounds, fillers and other suitable substrates can also be processed effectively.
What is P500 best used for?
P500 is a very fine sanding grade typically used after P400 or another suitable preceding grit. It further reduces fine sanding marks and prepares coatings, fillers and hard substrates for polishing, recoating or another high-quality finishing process.
Why use P500 after P400?
Progressing from P400 to P500 reduces scratch depth gradually instead of making a large jump between grit sizes. This can help create a more uniform surface and improve consistency when working on demanding coatings and visible finishing areas.
Why does clogging matter?
Varnish, paint residue, filler and fine sanding debris can accumulate between abrasive grains and reduce their cutting efficiency. GRANAT's special coating helps prevent this loading so the abrasive can continue sanding effectively for longer.
What makes StickFix useful?
Festool StickFix provides quick and secure abrasive attachment to a compatible sanding pad. The disc can be fitted and removed in seconds without clamps, adhesive or additional tools, making grit changes fast and convenient.
Why choose the 100-piece pack?
The GR/100 pack is designed for professional users who consume P500 abrasives regularly. The larger quantity provides a practical workshop supply and helps reduce interruptions caused by frequent replenishment.
Pro Tips
- Use P500 after P400 where additional surface refinement is required before polishing or another finishing stage.
- Remove all loose sanding dust before changing grit so coarser particles do not introduce unwanted scratches.
- Keep the sanding pad flat against the workpiece for consistent surface refinement.
- Use light, controlled pressure and allow the abrasive to perform the cutting action.
- Avoid excessive jumps between grit sizes when preparing high-quality painted or varnished surfaces.
- Replace the abrasive when it becomes loaded or noticeably loses cutting efficiency.
- Use suitable dust extraction wherever supported by the sanding machine and application.
How to Use
- Confirm that P500 is appropriate for the current sanding stage and desired surface quality.
- Switch off and disconnect the sanding machine before fitting or changing the abrasive.
- Position the D125 P500 GRANAT disc accurately on the compatible StickFix sanding pad.
- Press the abrasive firmly onto the pad so that it is securely attached.
- Connect suitable dust extraction where applicable.
- Select an appropriate sanding speed for the material or coating being processed.
- Keep the sanding pad flat against the workpiece and use light, even pressure.
- Move the machine steadily across the surface without remaining in one area for too long.
- Inspect the surface regularly and stop once the required level of refinement has been achieved.
- Proceed to polishing, recoating or another finishing process where required.
