Mirka’s smarter solution for consistent edge sanding
New Mirka Edge Guide improves control and accuracy in demanding edge sanding
Mirka UK is expanding its accessories range with the introduction of the new Mirka Edge Guide for the DEROS II 125mm and 150mm sanders. This new accessory has been developed to help achieve consistent and repeatable edge sanding results across a wide range of applications, from furniture manufacture and joinery, edge detailing, painting and varnishing preparation, to precision sanding on large panels.
Edge finishing is widely regarded as one of the most demanding surface preparation jobs, requiring consistent pressure and for the tool to be at a steady angle for a sustained period to achieve the necessary result. The Mirka Edge Guide’s design ensures the sander can glide easily from one end of the job to the other.
The guide combines ease of use with full adjustability, allowing the user to set angles from 45° to 90° effortlessly, while delivering accurate and repeatable results on any surface. In addition, the guide is fully supported, which minimises the risks of tilting or uneven sanding that could lead to costly reworks.
The R&D team also focused on user comfort, incorporating an ergonomic design that allows extended use without fatigue. A tool-free mounting system ensures quick attachment and removal, reducing downtime since the tool does not need to be switched out to perform edge sanding.

The guide also safeguards finished surfaces with a felt pad at the contact point, preventing accidental marks or scratches during sanding.
“We are constantly liaising with customers to gain insights into their processes, and the one issue that kept coming up was edge sanding,” explains Pete Sartain, national sales manager, Industrial, Mirka UK Ltd.
“Our R&D experts created the Mirka Edge Guide to deal with the issue head-on. We believe this solution simplifies the process, while delivering repeatable results in an efficient manner that will help it become the go-to accessory for this job across a multitude of applications.”
