Festool STF 93x178 P60 GR/50 Granat Abrasive Sheets 93x178mm P60 50-Pack
At a Glance: Professional Granat P60 abrasive sheets measuring 93 x 178 mm with Festool StickFix attachment, supplied in a 50-piece pack for RS 300, RS 3 and LRS 93 sanders.
Tackle demanding surface preparation with the Festool STF 93x178 P60 GR/50 Granat abrasive sheets. Granat is Festool&s highly versatile professional abrasive, specifically developed for challenging applications such as VOC varnishes, modern paint systems, hard base layers and hard substrates. Its special coating helps prevent premature clogging, allowing the abrasive to continue cutting effectively and helping deliver a long service life even on materials that can quickly load conventional sanding sheets. The P60 grit provides strong material-removal performance for coarse sanding, initial levelling and preparation before progressing through finer abrasive stages. Granat is equally useful for processing repair compounds, fillers, plastics, acrylic and suitable mineral materials. Each sheet measures 93 x 178 mm and uses Festool&s convenient StickFix hook-and-loop attachment system for fast, secure fitting and effortless abrasive changes. Supplied in a practical pack of 50 sheets, FES498934 is an excellent professional choice for painters, varnishers, drywallers, joiners and workshops using Festool RS 300, RS 3 or LRS 93 sanding systems.
Modern varnishes, clear coats, fillers and hard substrates can generate fine sanding residue that quickly fills the spaces around conventional abrasive grains. Festool Granat features a special coating that helps resist this clogging, allowing the abrasive surface to remain active for longer. The result is reliable cutting performance, fewer unnecessary abrasive changes and excellent versatility across demanding coating and surface-preparation applications.

P60 - powerful initial surface preparation
P60 is a coarse abrasive grade designed for strong material removal and early-stage preparation. It produces a finer sanding pattern than P40 while still cutting aggressively. For surfaces requiring a smoother final result, continue through progressively finer Granat grit grades after the P60 sanding stage.

- 50-piece pack: Provides a useful professional quantity for regular sanding applications.
Benefits
- Fast material removal: P60 delivers strong cutting performance for levelling, preparation and removal of suitable coatings and surface imperfections.
- Controlled step up from P40: Provides powerful cutting action while leaving a finer scratch pattern than very coarse P40 abrasives.
- Long abrasive life: Granat&s special coating helps resist clogging so the abrasive remains productive for longer.
- Reduced downtime: Good resistance to loading can reduce unnecessary abrasive changes during demanding work.
- Broad application range: Suitable for coatings, fillers, plastics, acrylic and suitable mineral materials.
- Fast abrasive replacement: StickFix allows worn sheets or different grit grades to be changed quickly and conveniently.
- Efficient sanding progression: P60 provides an excellent coarse preparation stage before progressing to medium and fine Granat grits.

What makes Granat different?
Modern varnishes, paints, clear coats and fillers can generate fine sanding residue that quickly fills the spaces between conventional abrasive grains. Once the surface becomes clogged, effective cutting performance falls. Granat uses a special coating designed to help prevent this premature loading, allowing more of the abrasive grain to remain active and helping provide a long, productive service life.
What does P60 mean?
P60 identifies a coarse abrasive grit designed for substantial material removal. It is less aggressive than P40 but still provides strong cutting action, making it a useful choice for initial surface preparation, levelling and preparing rough surfaces before moving to intermediate abrasive grades.
P40 or P60?
P40 is generally preferred where maximum material removal is required or the surface is particularly rough. P60 provides a more controlled next step, continuing to remove material efficiently while producing a finer scratch pattern. The best starting grit depends on the surface condition, material and amount of stock that must be removed.
Why progress through different grit sizes?
Every abrasive grit leaves its own characteristic scratch pattern. Moving progressively through suitable grit grades allows each finer abrasive to remove the scratches produced by the previous stage. After P60, intermediate grades such as P80, P100 or P120 can be selected according to the material and required finish.
Festool StickFix
StickFix is Festool&s hook-and-loop abrasive attachment system. The abrasive sheet is pressed directly onto the compatible sanding pad and remains securely positioned during operation. When the abrasive becomes worn or another grit is required, it can be peeled away and replaced quickly without clamps or separate adhesive.
Made for demanding professional applications
Granat is particularly useful for painters, varnishers, drywall professionals and joiners because of the wide range of materials it can process. From modern paint and clear-coat systems to repair compounds, fillers, plastics, acrylic and mineral materials, Granat provides a versatile abrasive solution across numerous professional trades.
Pro Tips
- Choose P60 when substantial material removal is required but a more controlled sanding pattern than P40 is preferred.
- For extremely rough surfaces or heavy coating removal, start with P40 if necessary and then progress to P60.
- After P60, continue through appropriate intermediate grits such as P80, P100 or P120 rather than making excessively large jumps in grit size.
- Align the abrasive accurately on the sanding pad so the complete sheet is properly supported during sanding.
- Use effective dust extraction wherever possible to improve visibility, working conditions and abrasive performance.
- Allow the abrasive grain to perform the cutting. Excessive pressure can increase heat and lead to unnecessary abrasive wear.
- Replace the sheet when cutting efficiency noticeably decreases instead of applying additional pressure to compensate.
- Remove loose sanding dust before changing to a finer grit so coarse particles do not contaminate the next sanding stage.
How to Use
- Switch off the sander and disconnect it from its electrical or compressed-air supply before fitting the abrasive.
- Inspect the sanding pad and make sure the StickFix surface is clean and in good condition.
- Select one STF 93x178 P60 Granat abrasive sheet from the pack.
- Align the abrasive accurately with the 93 x 178 mm sanding pad and press it firmly onto the StickFix surface.
- Connect suitable dust extraction where applicable.
- Place the sander flat against the workpiece and begin sanding using smooth, controlled passes.
- Guide the machine evenly across the surface with overlapping movements to obtain consistent preparation.
- Apply moderate pressure and allow the P60 abrasive to perform the material removal rather than forcing the machine into the workpiece.
- Inspect the surface regularly to ensure the required amount of material is being removed evenly.
- Once the P60 sanding stage is complete, remove residual dust before progressing to an appropriate finer Granat abrasive.
Safety
- Wear appropriate eye, hearing and respiratory protection according to the material and coating being sanded.
- Use suitable dust extraction whenever possible, particularly when sanding coatings, fillers, plastics, mineral materials or other dust-producing surfaces.
- Before sanding existing paints or coatings, determine whether they may contain hazardous substances and follow the appropriate occupational safety requirements.
- Do not sand asbestos-containing or similarly hazardous materials unless the work is carried out by appropriately trained personnel using the required equipment and procedures.
- Ensure the abrasive sheet is correctly aligned and securely attached to the sanding pad before operating the machine.
- Replace torn, damaged or excessively worn abrasive sheets before continuing work.
- Keep hands and loose clothing clear of the sanding surface while the machine is operating.
- Follow all operating and safety instructions supplied with the Festool sander, dust extractor and material or coating system being processed.
