FAQs
Does this pad work with hook-and-loop (Velcro) discs?
No, this pad is specifically designed for self-adhesive/sticky-backed discs only.
What is the diameter of this pad?
The pad measures 150mm, which is a standard size for most dual-action sanders.
Can I use this on a rotary sander?
While it is designed for dual-action (DA) sanders, it can be used on other machines as long as the spindle thread matches.
How do I remove residue left by adhesive discs?
Use a specialized adhesive remover or a soft cloth dampened with a mild degreaser, taking care not to damage the vinyl surface.
Is this pad suitable for wet sanding?
The adhesive bond may be compromised by water; it is intended primarily for dry sanding applications.
Troubleshooting
Sanding disc peels off prematurely
Clean the vinyl backing pad with a suitable adhesive remover and ensure the surface is completely dry before applying a new disc.
Excessive vibration during use
Check that the disc is perfectly centered on the pad and inspect the mounting spindle for any debris or misalignment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Secure adhesion prevents disc slippage
- Sturdy construction for longevity
- Standardized sizing fits most 150mm sanders
- Promotes consistent finish quality
Cons
- Not compatible with hook-and-loop sanding discs
- Requires careful cleaning to maintain adhesive performance
- Replacement discs must be specifically adhesive-backed
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your dual-action sander is powered off and disconnected from the air supply or power grid. Thread the pad onto the spindle until firm; do not over-tighten, as the spinning motion naturally tightens the fit during use.
When applying a new sanding disc, peel the backing carefully and center it on the vinyl surface. Press down firmly across the entire face to eliminate air pockets. To care for the pad, periodically wipe the vinyl face with a light solvent or adhesive remover to prevent the build-up of old adhesive residue. Store the pad in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to preserve the flexibility of the mounting material.
