Festool STF D185/16 P40 GR/50 Granat Abrasive Discs 185mm P40 50 Piece

At a Glance: Professional coarse P40 GRANAT abrasive discs with a 185 mm diameter and 16-hole extraction pattern, supplied in a 50-piece pack for aggressive sanding of modern paint systems, hard sublayers, plastics, mineral materials, acrylic, repair compounds and fillers. Designed specifically for the Festool LEX 185 pneumatic eccentric sander.

The Festool STF D185/16 P40 GR/50 GRANAT abrasive discs are professional 185 mm sanding discs developed for demanding coarse sanding and rapid surface preparation. With a P40 grit, they provide strong material-removal performance for levelling repair compounds and fillers, removing coatings and preparing hard sublayers before progressing to finer abrasive grades. GRANAT is particularly effective when processing modern paint systems and is recommended for VOC clear coats, while also being suitable for plastics, mineral materials and acrylic. The 16-hole extraction pattern supports efficient dust removal when used with the compatible Festool LEX 185 sanding system. Supplied in a professional 50-piece pack, FES497183 is an excellent choice for workshops, painters, varnishers and finishing professionals who require dependable coarse sanding performance over larger 185 mm working areas.

Fast material removal with coarse P40 GRANAT

P40 is a coarse abrasive grade intended for initial sanding, levelling and removal work. It is particularly useful when a surface must be cut back quickly before progressing through intermediate and fine abrasive grades to achieve the required finish.

Product highlights

Coarse P40 grit: Designed for aggressive sanding and rapid material removal.
185 mm diameter: Large sanding area for efficient work on broader surfaces.
16-hole extraction pattern: Supports efficient removal of sanding dust through the compatible backing pad.
GRANAT abrasive: Developed for demanding professional sanding applications.
Modern paint systems: Suitable for processing modern coatings and recommended for VOC clear coats.
Versatile substrate use: Suitable for plastics, mineral materials, acrylic, repair compounds and fillers.
LEX 185 compatibility: Designed specifically for the Festool LEX 185 pneumatic eccentric sander.
Professional 50-piece pack: Practical quantity for workshop and production use.

Product Compatibility

Festool LEX 185: Designed specifically for use with the Festool LEX 185 pneumatic eccentric sander.

Coarse sanding grade

P40 is intended for heavy surface preparation and aggressive material removal. It will leave a pronounced sanding pattern, so the surface should normally be refined progressively with suitable finer abrasive grades before painting, varnishing or final finishing.

Features

P40 grit: Coarse abrasive grade for rapid stock removal and initial surface preparation.
185 mm diameter: Large-format sanding disc for efficient coverage of broad workpieces.
16-hole extraction pattern: Designed to support effective sanding-dust removal.
GRANAT abrasive quality: Professional abrasive for demanding coating and substrate applications.
StickFix format: Quick hook-and-loop abrasive attachment for compatible Festool sanding pads.
50-disc pack: Professional quantity for regular coarse-sanding applications.

Benefits

High removal rate: P40 provides aggressive cutting action for fast levelling and stripping work.
Efficient on larger surfaces: The 185 mm diameter covers more area with each pass.
Effective dust management: The 16-hole pattern supports extraction when correctly aligned with the compatible sanding pad.
Wide application range: Suitable for modern paint systems, hard sublayers, plastics, mineral materials, acrylic, repair compounds and fillers.
Designed for professional use: Optimised for the Festool LEX 185 pneumatic eccentric sander.
Convenient abrasive changes: StickFix allows fast removal and replacement of worn discs.

What is Festool GRANAT?

GRANAT is Festool's professional abrasive range developed for demanding sanding and surface-preparation applications. It is particularly effective on modern paint systems and hard substrates and is also suitable for plastics, mineral materials, acrylic, repair compounds and fillers.

What is P40 best used for?

P40 is a coarse abrasive grade intended for initial sanding and rapid stock removal. It is well suited to removing substantial surface irregularities, levelling fillers and repair compounds, cutting back coatings and preparing hard surfaces before progressing to finer grit stages.

What does the 16-hole pattern do?

The 16 extraction holes allow sanding dust to pass through the abrasive and compatible backing pad into the extraction system. Correct alignment helps reduce loose dust at the sanding interface and supports cleaner, more efficient sanding.

Why use a 185 mm abrasive?

The larger 185 mm diameter provides increased sanding coverage compared with smaller discs, making it efficient for broad panels, larger workpieces and production-oriented surface preparation when paired with the Festool LEX 185.

Why is grit progression important after P40?

P40 removes material quickly but leaves a relatively coarse scratch pattern. Progressing through suitable intermediate grits reduces those scratches gradually and helps prepare the surface correctly for coating, varnishing or final finishing.

Why choose the 50-piece pack?

The GR/50 pack provides a practical professional quantity for workshops where coarse sanding is performed regularly, helping maintain productivity and reduce interruptions for abrasive replenishment.

Pro Tips

Use P40 for the heavy cutting stage, then progress through suitable intermediate grit sizes rather than jumping directly to a very fine abrasive.
Align all 16 extraction holes accurately with the sanding pad to maximise dust removal.
Keep the sanding pad flat against the workpiece to avoid deep edge marks.
Allow the coarse abrasive to perform the cutting action instead of applying excessive pressure.
Remove sanding dust thoroughly before moving to a finer grit so loose coarse particles do not contaminate the next sanding stage.
Replace the abrasive when the cutting rate drops significantly or the disc becomes damaged.
Use suitable dust extraction with the LEX 185 wherever the application allows.

How to Use

Confirm that P40 is appropriate for the amount of material that must be removed.
Ensure the Festool LEX 185 is switched off and isolated from its air supply before fitting the abrasive.
Position the STF D185/16 P40 GRANAT disc accurately on the compatible StickFix sanding pad.
Align all 16 extraction holes with the corresponding openings in the sanding pad.
Press the abrasive firmly onto the pad so that it is securely attached.
Connect suitable dust extraction where applicable.
Operate the sander at an appropriate speed and pressure for the material being processed.
Keep the sanding pad flat and move steadily across the workpiece.
Inspect the surface regularly to avoid removing more material than necessary.
Progress to a finer abrasive grade once the initial levelling or stripping stage is complete.
