Virginia Abrasives 414-17120 Mesh Sanding Screen 120 Grit

Product Description

The VIRGINIA ABRASIVES CORP 414-17120 is a 17-inch diameter mesh sanding screen designed for use with 17-inch floor buffers and rotary machines. At 120 grit, it falls in the medium-fine range, making it well-suited for light stock removal, surface preparation, and smoothing wood or concrete floors between finish coats. The open mesh construction allows dust to pass through rather than load the screen, extending usable life compared to solid abrasive sheets. Flooring contractors and floor care professionals are the primary installers of this consumable abrasive product.

This sanding screen is sized to fit standard 17-inch floor buffers and is intended for use with a 17-inch diameter white buffing pad placed between the screen and the machine. This pad-and-screen configuration is common in hardwood floor sanding, gym floor maintenance, and commercial floor prep work. The 120 grit designation is appropriate for intercoat scuff sanding or final passes before applying finish, sealer, or wax on wood or similar flooring surfaces.

Installation Notes

This product is installed by flooring contractors or floor care professionals operating rotary floor buffer equipment. Before mounting the screen, ensure the buffer is unplugged and the machine pad driver is clean and free of debris. Place the white buffing pad on the pad driver first, then position the sanding screen between the pad and the floor surface. Do not operate without the backing pad, as direct contact between the screen and the pad driver can damage both the driver and the screen prematurely.
