Festool Cristal abrasive


Maximum material removal.*

Increase your material removal rate by up to 40%* when coarse sanding with Cristal and benefit from maximum resistance to clogging. What makes Cristal so efficient? The sparse grit coating.
Minimal clogging.

With the Jetstream principle, your sanding discs can be used more intensively and for longer: additional air ducts in the sanding pad prevent a vacuum from forming. This keeps the temperature low during sanding and also minimises clogging.
Extended usable life.

The aluminium oxide grits retain their geometric shape, even when sanding the toughest materials and ensure maximum removal capacity and minimal wear.
Reliable working result.

You achieve an even finish whichever grit size you use because the coating is adapted to the respective grit range.
Extremely durable.

The special phenolic resin bonding is both resistant and flexible. The grits adhere to the support material for much longer as a result.
Quicker changes.

It could not be easier: the Festool StickFix Velcro system secures the sanding disc to the sanding pad and ensures that the contact surface is always flat. Simply remove and attach the next abrasive!
