Bosch EXPERT S471 Standard Sanding Block 69mm × 97mm × 26mm

The Bosch EXPERT S471 Standard Sanding Block is designed for durable and effective hand sanding of wood and paint, particularly when working on shaped surfaces, curves, edges and corners.

Bosch Surface Structure uses strong bonding to secure the abrasive grains to the flexible backing, helping prevent grit loss during demanding hand sanding. The sponge conforms to the workpiece for even pressure, while its tear-resistant foam construction provides excellent durability.

Dust and sanding residue can also be knocked or washed from the flexible surface to help reduce clogging and extend useful sanding life.
