Many automotive paint shops often only have a single sanding machine with one working stroke for coarse, intermediate and fine sanding.
Usually only the abrasive grit is changed. Many people do not realise that when they perform different sanding tasks with only one device, they are missing out on the higher material removal rate of a longer sanding stroke.
This means that longer sanding times and higher process costs have to be accepted.
This is why the Festool system works with three different sanding strokes: 11 millimetres for coarse sanding, seven millimetres for intermediate sanding and three millimetres for fine sanding to work faster and more effectively. Festool’s testing department observed that correct application of the sanding strokes led to a considerable reduction in sanding times.
