Product overview

This set brings one coarse sanding stick, one medium sanding stick, one fine sanding stick, one extra fine sanding stick and one tri-stick together in a clear tube. Across those five members, the published grit values are 150 / 240 / 400 / 600 / 1000 / 3000. The tri-stick contributes three distinct abrasive sections for finishing on one tool. AK describes the contents as precision sticks intended to complete a sanding and polishing process, while crediting abrasive quality with longer duration in use.

  • The five-member selection spans four single-grade sticks plus the multi-section tri-stick.
  • AK states that its grade coding makes the abrasives quicker to tell apart.
  • The tri-stick keeps its three finishing areas on one piece.
  • The supplied tube holds the complete stick selection together.
  • Published grit figures: 150 / 240 / 400 / 600 / 1000 / 3000.

Notes · Q & A

What's the difference between a needle file and a sanding stick?

Needle files are steel, cut faster and hold their shape for tight spots and metal. Sanding sticks are foam or paper-backed abrasive, kinder to plastic and better for smoothing broad, flat surfaces without gouging.

Which grit should I start with on mould lines?

For plastic, start around 400 grit to knock the line back, then refine with 600–800. Coarser than 400 leaves scratches you then have to chase out, so only go lower for resin flash or heavy work.

Should I file wet or dry?

Wet sanding with a drop of water reduces dust and clogging and gives a finer finish, which matters on resin where the dust is best not inhaled. Dry filing is fine for quick metal work and steel needle files.

How do I stop a file clogging with plastic or resin?

Brush it out with a stiff brass brush along the cut direction. For sanding sticks, tap them clean often. Clogged abrasive stops cutting and starts burnishing, which just polishes the high spots rather than removing them.
