Festool STF 93x178 P180 GR/100 Granat Abrasive Sheets 93x178mm P180 100-Pack

At a Glance: Premium Granat P180 abrasive sheets measuring 93 x 178 mm with Festool StickFix attachment, supplied in a professional 100-piece pack for RS 300, RS 3 and LRS 93 sanders.

Refine surfaces efficiently and prepare them for high-quality finishing with the Festool STF 93x178 P180 GR/100 Granat abrasive sheets. Festool Granat is a highly versatile professional abrasive developed especially for demanding VOC varnishes, modern paint systems, clear coats and hard substrates. Its special coating helps prevent premature clogging by fine sanding residue, allowing the abrasive grain to remain effective for longer and providing an excellent combination of consistent cutting performance, durability and surface quality. The P180 grit is particularly useful for fine surface preparation and refinement after intermediate sanding stages such as P120 or P150. It reduces the sanding pattern left by coarser grits and creates a smoother, more uniform surface before subsequent fine sanding, coating or finishing operations. Granat can also be used on repair compounds, fillers, plastics, acrylic and suitable mineral materials. Each sheet measures 93 x 178 mm and features Festool&s convenient StickFix hook-and-loop backing for quick, secure attachment to compatible sanding pads. Supplied in a generous 100-piece pack, FES498938 is ideally suited to professional painters, varnishers, drywallers, joiners and workshops using Festool RS 300, RS 3 or LRS 93 sanding systems.

Granat - the universal abrasive with special advantages

Granat is designed for demanding sanding applications where conventional abrasives can clog prematurely. Modern varnishes, clear coats, fillers and hard base layers can generate fine sanding residue that builds up around the abrasive grain and reduces cutting efficiency. Granat&s special coating helps resist this loading, allowing the abrasive surface to continue working effectively for longer while delivering reliable results across a broad range of professional surface-preparation applications.

What makes Granat different?

Modern varnishes, clear coats, paints and fillers can generate fine sanding residue that quickly fills the spaces between conventional abrasive grains. As the abrasive becomes loaded, fewer cutting points remain exposed and sanding performance begins to decline. Granat incorporates a special coating designed to help prevent premature clogging, allowing the abrasive surface to remain active for longer and supporting a long working life.

What does P180 mean?

P180 identifies a fine surface-preparation abrasive grit. It produces a more refined sanding pattern than P120 or P150 while still providing sufficient cutting ability to remove remaining sanding marks and minor imperfections. This makes it particularly useful as surfaces move closer to their final preparation or finishing stage.

When should P180 be used?

P180 is an excellent choice after the main levelling and intermediate sanding work has already been completed. It can be used after P120 or P150 to further refine the surface, smooth suitable coatings and fillers and prepare substrates for finer sanding or subsequent finishing processes.

Why use a progressive sanding sequence?

Every abrasive grit produces its own scratch pattern. Moving through suitable grit stages allows each progressively finer abrasive to remove the scratches created during the preceding stage. A controlled sequence such as P120, P150 and P180 can provide a more consistent result than jumping directly from a very coarse abrasive to a fine grit.

Festool StickFix

StickFix is Festool&s hook-and-loop abrasive attachment system. The abrasive sheet presses directly onto the compatible sanding pad and remains securely held during operation. When the sheet becomes worn or the next grit is required, it can simply be peeled away and replaced without clamps or separate adhesive.

Ideal for demanding coating preparation

Granat is especially useful for painters and varnishers because modern coating systems can be difficult to sand efficiently with conventional abrasives. Its clog-resistant characteristics and broad material compatibility also make it valuable for drywall professionals, joiners and workshops working with fillers, plastics, acrylic and other suitable substrates.

Pro Tips

Use P180 after P120 or P150 when you need a finer and more uniform sanding pattern before the next finishing stage.
If deeper scratches from earlier coarse sanding remain visible, return to an appropriate intermediate grit rather than trying to remove them entirely with P180.
For an even finer surface, continue after P180 with P220 or another suitable finer Granat grit according to the material and finish specification.
Align the abrasive accurately on the sanding pad so the complete 93 x 178 mm sheet is properly supported.
Use effective dust extraction wherever possible to help maintain a clean work surface and efficient abrasive performance.
Avoid excessive sanding pressure. Allow the abrasive and the sander&s orbital action to perform the work.
Replace an abrasive sheet when cutting efficiency noticeably decreases rather than increasing pressure to compensate.
Remove loose sanding dust before moving to the next finer abrasive to prevent coarse particles from contaminating the subsequent 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 its StickFix surface is clean and in good condition.
Select one STF 93x178 P180 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 with smooth, controlled movements.
Guide the machine evenly across the surface using overlapping passes to achieve a uniform sanding pattern.
Apply moderate pressure and allow the abrasive grain and machine movement to perform the cutting.
Inspect the surface regularly to confirm that marks from the previous abrasive stage are being removed consistently.
Once the P180 sanding stage is complete, remove residual sanding dust before progressing to an appropriate finer abrasive or subsequent coating process.

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.
