Key Features and Benefits

Aggressive Initial Cut

Efficiency is the core of the Basecut range. The abrasive grains are designed to bite into the surface immediately, making it ideal for tough tasks like paint stripping and removing heavy oxidisation. This aggressive nature does not sacrifice the quality of the finish, provided the correct grit progression is followed.

Versatile Application

Whether you are working with soft wood, hard wood, or synthetic materials like glass fibre and plastics, the Mirka Basecut roll handles them all. Its flexible backing allows it to conform to curved surfaces and intricate details without cracking or losing its abrasive coating.

Cost Efficiency for Large Projects

Measuring 50 metres in length, these rolls are perfect for high volume users. Buying in bulk rolls allows for custom lengths to be cut, minimising waste compared to pre-cut sheets. This makes it the go to choice for decorating contractors and large scale woodworking shops.

Grit Selection Guide

Choosing the right grit is essential for achieving the desired finish. We offer various grits to suit every stage of your project:

Coarse Grits (P40 to P80)

Best for heavy material removal, stripping thick layers of old paint, or levelling rough sawn timber. Use these for the "aggressive" stage of your work.

Medium Grits (P100 to P150)

Ideal for general purpose sanding, smoothing out scratches left by coarser papers, and preparing surfaces for primer or undercoat.

Fine Grits (P180 to P400)

Specifically designed for final finishing. These grits are perfect for sanding between coats of lacquer or paint, and for polishing surfaces to a smooth touch before applying oils or waxes.

Why Choose Mirka?

Mirka is a world leader in surface finishing technology. By choosing Basecut, you are benefiting from decades of research and development. The semi open coating prevents clogging and "pilling," which is a common issue with lower quality sandpapers. This keeps the abrasive sharp for longer, ensuring a consistent scratch pattern across the entire workpiece.

Optimising Your Sanding Process

To get the most out of your Mirka Basecut roll, always sand in the direction of the wood grain. For automotive or synthetic applications, ensure the surface is clean and free of grease before starting. Using a sanding block will help maintain an even pressure and prevent "dips" in the surface, especially when working on flat panels or plasterboard joins.
