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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eFast material removal with coarse P40 GRANAT\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eP40 is a coarse abrasive grade intended for initial sanding, levelling and removal work.
