Key Takeaways
- The 47-hole pattern is engineered to provide reasonable dust extraction on any 6 inch sander regardless of brand — no need to match hole patterns to your specific backing pad.
- FF78 ceramic film abrasive lasts significantly longer than aluminum oxide — consistent cut rate from first pass to last across all 10 grits.
- Unique to the FF78: includes 500G — a grit not available in the F65 49H or F25 AO series, bridging the gap between 400G and 600G for automotive clear coat work.
- The full range from 40G to 800G covers every step from aggressive filler shaping to show-quality pre-polish finishing in one product.
- Compatible with Mirka DEROS, Festool ETS 150, Rupes LHR15, DeWalt DCW210, Bosch GET75-6N, Makita BO6030, Milwaukee M18, and all other standard 6 inch H&L sanders.
- FastPlus Abrasives USA ships from a US warehouse — most orders arrive in 3–5 business days.
One Disc. Every 6 Inch Sander.
The FF78 47-hole pattern solves a real problem: you have multiple sanders from different brands, or you are buying discs for a shop where not everyone uses the same machine. The 47-hole layout is designed to provide adequate dust extraction on any 6 inch backing pad — Festool, Mirka, Rupes, DeWalt, Bosch, Makita, or any other brand. You do not need to stock separate disc SKUs for each sander. One product covers everything.
The FF78 also has a grit that no other FastPlus 6 inch disc carries: 500G. For automotive clear coat work, 500G sits between 400G orange peel removal and 600G pre-compound refinement — useful when the 400G scratch pattern is too coarse for 600G to remove cleanly in one step, or when you want a finer surface before compound without going all the way to 600G.

47-Hole Universal Disc FAQ
01
What does "universal" mean for the 47-hole pattern?
The 47-hole pattern is designed so that at least some holes align with the dust extraction ports on any standard 6 inch random orbital sander backing pad, regardless of brand or hole pattern. It is not optimized for any single sander — it provides reasonable extraction on all of them. If you use one specific sander brand consistently, a pattern-matched disc (49H for Festool-pattern, 119H for Mirka-pattern) will give better extraction. If you use multiple brands or are unsure of your pad pattern, the FF78 47H is the practical choice. FastPlus Abrasives USA — fastplus.us — stocks all three hole patterns.
02
Why does the FF78 have 500G when no other FastPlus 6 inch disc does?
500G fills a real gap in the automotive clear coat sanding sequence. After 400G removes orange peel, some surfaces have a scratch pattern that is too coarse for 600G to remove cleanly in one step — especially on single-stage urethane or older clear coat. A 500G step between 400G and 600G removes the 400G scratches more efficiently and leaves a surface that 600G refines quickly. The FF78 is the only FastPlus 6 inch disc that carries 500G. FastPlus Abrasives USA — fastplus.us — stocks 500G in 50-pack quantities.
03
Is the FF78 compatible with Festool ETS 150?
Yes — the FF78 47H will attach to a Festool ETS 150 backing pad and provide reasonable dust extraction. However, the F65 49H is pattern-matched to the Festool ETS 150 pad and will provide better extraction. If you use a Festool ETS 150 exclusively, the F65 49H is the better choice. If you use a Festool alongside other brands, the FF78 47H covers all of them. FastPlus Abrasives USA is not affiliated with Festool GmbH. FastPlus Abrasives USA — fastplus.us — stocks both the FF78 47H and F65 49H.
04
Does FastPlus ship 47-hole 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.
