Festool Granat 5 inch sanding disc is a hardened aluminum oxide abrasive disc on a paper backing that provides consistent cutting action, which supports even surface preparation across each pass. The 220 grit grade delivers fine sanding that helps refine surfaces after coarser grits, preparing workpieces for finishing stages. The hook and loop backing creates a quick-change interface, so discs can be swapped or repositioned during a job without interrupting the workflow. A 9-hole pattern matches compatible dust extraction setups, which channels dust away from the sanding face and helps keep the abrasive cutting instead of loading. Granat is described as Festool's most long-lasting and highest performing abrasive, which supports extended use on demanding jobs. The disc is well suited for nearly all applications listed in the product data, so shops can standardize on one abrasive line for a wide mix of materials.
The 5 inch size interfaces with 5 inch hook and loop sanding pads that share the same 9-hole pattern, so the abrasive can seat flat and feed dust through the intended channels. The hardened aluminum oxide abrasive is bonded with synthetic resin, creating a durable grain lock that helps the disc hold up when used on the wide material range specified for Granat. The closed coated layout concentrates abrasive across the face, which helps maintain a predictable cut rate on bare wood, paints, and other listed surfaces. The paper backing supports the abrasive and resin system with a stable base, so the disc follows the pad without excessive flex that could alter the scratch profile during passes.
Festool Granat abrasive disc is well suited for bare wood, so cabinet parts, trim, and panels can be sanded with the same abrasive line used elsewhere in the shop. The disc also suits paints and most modern paint systems, which lets finishers refine coated surfaces without changing to a different abrasive family for each coating type. Compatibility with VOC clear coats means sprayed finishes that follow stricter solvent limits can still be leveled and denibbed using this disc type. Suitability for plastic materials expands use into laminate edges and plastic components where controlled removal is required. The abrasive also fits solid surface materials, allowing fabricators to sand seams and faces on those countertops or components. Coverage of acrylics and composites means one disc type can support sanding across diverse fabricated parts, from acrylic panels to composite assemblies specified in project work.
The hardened aluminum oxide grain provides a robust cutting surface that resists breakdown, supporting consistent scratch patterns as the disc wears across bare wood, coatings, and the other listed materials. Synthetic resin bonding secures the grain to the paper backing, helping the abrasive stay attached under pressure so the sanding pattern remains steady from the center to the edge of the disc. Closed coated construction concentrates abrasive grain across most of the face, which helps reduce random scratch gaps and delivers a more uniform finish that is easier to blend between passes. The hook and loop backing lets installers reposition or change discs without damaging the backing pad, which helps maintain pad integrity and keeps the sanding interface flat over repeated use. The 9-hole design works with matching pads to draw dust away from the contact area, helping reduce loading so the disc continues to cut rather than burnish the surface during longer sanding runs.
Festool 497172 is a Festool Granat 5 inch 220 grit hook and loop 9-hole sanding disc, so it serves as a fine abrasive disc for compatible 5 inch hook and loop sanders.
The 220 grit Granat disc delivers fine sanding after coarser grits, so surfaces can be refined toward finishing or coating stages with a tighter, more uniform scratch pattern.
This Festool Granat disc uses a hook and loop backing, so it attaches to compatible hook and loop sanding pads and supports quick disc changes between grits.
The Granat disc has a 9-hole pattern to align with matching dust extraction pads, moving dust away from the sanding face to help maintain cutting performance.
This Festool Granat disc is well suited for bare wood, paints, most modern paint systems, VOC clear coats, plastic materials, solid surface materials, acrylics, and composites.
Granat on this disc uses hardened aluminum oxide grain with synthetic resin bonding in a closed coated structure, supporting sustained and uniform cutting on the listed materials.
This Festool Granat 5 inch 220 grit hook and loop 9-hole sanding disc from Wurth Baer Supply combines hardened aluminum oxide grain, synthetic resin bonding, and closed coated construction to support consistent results on the broad material range specified. By choosing this 220 grit disc where fine sanding is needed on bare wood, paints, VOC clear coats, plastic materials, solid surface materials, acrylics, and composites, shops can align finishing steps around a single abrasive line that is described as Festool's most long-lasting and highest performing abrasive.
