TruCut Sanding Pads are made to cut bowling balls. Since 2018, TruCut products have set the industry standard for cutting bowling balls at the number listed on the pad. The pads come in the following grits: 80,120, 220, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, and P5000D. 

The 80, 120, and 220 grits are TruCut Resurfacing Pads which use a unique tearproof film backing and a Zirconia cutting material. The backing enables the product to handle the large amounts of bowling ball debris (aka slurry) and continue cutting. This allows for improved ease of use when resurfacing bowling balls. These pads have also been used on the ever popular urethane balls because they can provide a level of earlier hook that can be desired on urethane bowling balls.  

The TruCut 500,1000, 1500, 2000 grit sanding pads use a silicone carbide cutting material and have an open cell foam backing with a special webbing. The webbing allows the slurry to pass through the pad while using TruCut Conditioner. TruCut Conditioner increases the life of the sanding pad and improves the consistency of the cut. 

TruCut 3000 grit pad offers the same open cell foam backing but uses a tighter webbing for maximum durability and cutting ability. 

TruCut P5000D grit has the same tighter webbing as TruCut 3000 grit; however, it actually has 2 different grits sprayed on it. Because of this, you’re able to achieve two different surface finishes depending how the pad is used. By hand, it leaves a 4000 grit finish. Used on a spinner, it leaves a 5000 grit finish.

The all-new TruCut 4000 grit pad features the same open cell foam technology as the other pads and uses silicon carbide as the cutting material. However, it is sprayed with only one grit.  This improves the longevity of the pad and allows us to create some repeatable in-between grit options. This is commonly called “skip sanding” when using multiple grits of TruCut Sanding Pads. To achieve the in-between surfaces, you must use TruCut Conditioner. Without TruCut Conditioner, the surface is not consistent enough to get the final grit desired.

In addition to achieving a 4000 grit sanded finish, now you can also get some new grit combinations by following the instructions below:
