Frequently asked questions
Common questions about HIRETECH from 3G Electric.
What grit progression is recommended when using HIRETECH floor sanding sheets on a drum sander?
For HIRETECH drum sanders like the HT8MS, a typical grit progression starts with a coarse grit (24 grit) for heavy material removal, followed by 40 grit for smoothing, and then finer grits (60, 80, 100) for final finishing. The 24-grit sheets (MPN 01001) and 40-grit sheets (MPN 01002) are available in 25-packs for the HT8 series. Always test on a scrap area to confirm the desired surface profile.
Are HIRETECH orbital floor sanders compatible with adhesive-backed abrasives only?
Yes, the HIRETECH HTF orbital floor sander (MPN 7009) uses adhesive-backed abrasives. The abrasive sheets for this model measure 4.5 x 15.75 inches and are available in grits from 60 to 180 (MPNs 01751, 01752, 01756). The adhesive backing ensures secure attachment during operation and allows for quick changes without clamps.
What is the maximum RPM of the HIRETECH HT8MS drum floor sander?
The HIRETECH HT8MS drum floor sander has a maximum speed of 8,500 RPM. It features variable speed control, allowing the operator to adjust the drum speed based on the material and grit being used. The sander uses 8 x 19.5 inch abrasive sheets secured with a clamp system.
Does 3G Electric carry HIRETECH abrasive discs for orbital sanders?
Yes, 3G Electric stocks HIRETECH floor sanding discs for the HT7 series, such as the 7-inch, 40-grit disc (MPN 01045) in 25-packs. These discs are designed for use with compatible HIRETECH orbital sanders. Check the sander model to confirm disc compatibility before ordering.
What dust collection options are available for HIRETECH floor sanders?
HIRETECH floor sanders are designed to be used with dust collection bags or external vacuum systems. The drum and orbital sanders typically include a dust port that connects to standard shop vacuums or dust extractors. Using dust collection improves air quality and extends abrasive life by reducing clogging. 3G Electric supplies dust collection bags as part of the product line.
