Key Takeaways
- Only 3 FastPlus products carry a 150G variant — all ceramic, all 6-inch or roll format. No 5-inch disc or aluminum oxide option exists at this grit.
- 150 grit is the minimum required grit before staining tight-grain species like maple, cherry, and birch — stopping at 120 causes blotchy absorption.
- For water-based finishes, 150 grit often provides better adhesion than 180 — the slightly coarser scratch profile gives the finish more mechanical tooth.
- In automotive work, 150 grit is the standard scuff grit for bare metal before epoxy primer and for scuffing cured primer before guide coat blocking.
- The FF78 47H is the only 6-inch disc at 150G that fits all sanders — the F65 49H (Festool-specific) does not have a 150G variant.
- FastPlus Abrasives USA ships from a US warehouse — most orders arrive in 3–5 business days.
Three Products. One Job. Getting the Surface Right Before the Finish Goes On.
150 grit is a narrow but important grit. Not every product line carries it — in the FastPlus lineup, only three products have a 150G variant, and all three are ceramic. That is not a coincidence. At 150 grit, you are doing final prep work where disc consistency matters most: the surface you leave behind is the surface the finish sees. A disc that dulls halfway through a panel leaves an uneven scratch pattern that shows up under stain or clear coat.
The three products here cover the two main use cases for 150 grit: 6-inch random orbital disc work (two hole pattern options depending on your sander) and longboard or hand block work with the 2.75-inch ceramic roll. If you need a 5-inch disc or an aluminum oxide option at 150G, those variants do not exist in the current FastPlus lineup — the closest alternatives are the 120 grit or 180 grit collections.

Where 150 Grit Fits in the Sequence
| Job |
Sequence |
Skip 150? |
| Maple / cherry (water-based stain) |
80 → 120 → 150 → 180 → stain |
No — blotchy absorption without it |
| Cabinet doors (water-based lacquer) |
80 → 120 → 150 → finish |
No — 120 leaves visible scratches under lacquer |
| Oak flooring (oil-based poly) |
80 → 120 → 150 → finish |
Optional on open-grain oak |
| Auto body primer scuff |
120 → 150 → guide coat → 320 |
No — standard scuff grit for primer |
| Bare metal before epoxy primer |
80 → 150 → epoxy primer |
No — provides adhesion profile for epoxy |
150 Grit FAQ
01
Why are there only 3 FastPlus products at 150 grit?
Not every product line carries every grit. In the FastPlus lineup, the F65 5-inch and 6-inch 49H discs, the F25 Yellow series, and the PSA roll do not have 150G variants — their grit ranges jump from 120 directly to 180. The three products that do carry 150G are all ceramic film or ceramic grain, which reflects where 150 grit is most commonly used: fine finishing work where disc consistency and longevity matter. FastPlus Abrasives USA — fastplus.us — continues to expand the product range.
02
Can I skip 150 and go from 120 directly to 180?
On open-grain hardwoods like oak, ash, and walnut with oil-based finishes, yes — 120 to 180 is a common and acceptable sequence. On tight-grain species like maple, cherry, or birch, skipping 150 and going straight to 180 from 120 can leave a scratch pattern that shows under stain or water-based finish. In automotive work, 150 is the standard scuff grit for primer and should not be skipped.
03
I use a Festool ETS 150. Which 150 grit disc fits my sander?
The FastPlus F65 6-inch 49-hole disc (the Festool-optimized disc) does not have a 150G variant — it goes from 120 directly to 180. For 150 grit on a Festool ETS 150 or RO 150, use the
FF78 Blue Ceramic 6-inch 47-hole disc. The 47-hole universal pattern fits Festool pads and provides good dust extraction. FastPlus Abrasives USA is not affiliated with Festool GmbH.
04
Should I use 150 grit before applying water-based finish?
Yes, and it is often the better choice over 180 for water-based finishes. Water-based finishes raise grain more aggressively than oil-based, and a slightly coarser scratch profile at 150 gives the finish more mechanical tooth to grip. On tight-grain species like maple, 150 is the minimum — do not stop at 120. On open-grain species, 150 is a solid stopping point before the first water-based coat.
05
What is the difference between the FF78 47H and PuroFilm 119H at 150 grit?
Both are ceramic film discs in 6-inch size. The FF78 47-hole uses a universal pattern that fits all 6-inch random orbital sanders. The PuroFilm 119-hole is designed for maximum dust extraction on Mirka DEROS and similar high-vacuum sanders — the 119 holes evacuate dust more efficiently, keeping the disc cutting longer on fine finishing work. If you run a Mirka, get the PuroFilm. For all other 6-inch sanders, the FF78 is the right choice. FastPlus Abrasives USA is not affiliated with Mirka Ltd.
06
Does FastPlus ship 150 grit discs to all US states?
Yes. FastPlus Abrasives USA — fastplus.us — ships to all 50 US states from a domestic warehouse. Standard delivery is 3 to 5 business days. Expedited shipping is available at checkout.
