The Makita 794380-1 Slit Paper Sanding Wheel, 40 Grit, 9741 is a replacement abrasive wheel accessory for the Makita 9741 Wheel Sander. This is a slit paper sanding wheel designed for paint removal, rust removal, and aggressive surface prep. Model Number: 794380-1. If you already own a 9741 and need a wheel that cuts fast instead of just polishing the surface, this is the one you reach for.

The big story here is the 40 grit abrasive. That coarse grit is meant for efficient material removal, not fine finishing. In real use, that means it helps strip old coatings, knock down rust, and clean up rough surfaces faster than a finer wheel would. When the job is to remove material and move on to the next step, coarse grit saves time.

Makita builds this wheel with aluminum oxide abrasive and a coated construction, which gives it the durability needed for repeated prep work. That matters on a wheel sander because the accessory takes the abuse. A cheap wheel that sheds fast or wears unevenly costs you in finish quality and replacement frequency. This one is built as a purpose-made accessory for the tool it is intended to run on.

Fit is another reason this product matters. The Makita 794380-1 Slit Paper Sanding Wheel, 40 Grit, 9741 is specifically for use with the Makita 9741 Wheel Sander. That kind of direct tool-to-accessory match is what you want when you need the sander to track correctly and perform the way Makita designed it. No guessing, no trying to make a close-enough accessory work.

For application, think surface prep before refinishing, repainting, or restoration. If you are removing rust from metal or stripping paint from wood and similar materials, this wheel is geared toward that early-stage cleanup work where speed and bite matter more than a smooth final pass. It is a good fit for contractors, restoration work, maintenance crews, and serious DIY users who need the 9741 to do actual removal work instead of lighter blending.

If you need a finishing wheel, this is not that. This is the aggressive option in the lineup. That is exactly why it earns its place. When the surface is rough, coated, or oxidized and you need to get underneath the mess, a coarse slit paper wheel like this makes the 9741 much more useful.
