This guide is for professionals and serious DIYers using rotary tools for sanding and finishing. The Flexipads World Class Sander Extragrip Pad offers superior grip for non-woven discs and a durable, metal-threaded base. A minor caveat is its specialized use with specific disc types.

M14 refers to the standard metric thread size for the spindle on many angle grinders and polishers, indicating the compatibility of this backing pad with such tools.
This pad is specifically designed for non-woven material discs (SCDs) due to its GRIP® surface. It may not provide optimal or secure attachment for standard hook-and-loop or adhesive sanding discs.
The 3mm foam layer provides a small degree of conformity to surfaces, helping to distribute pressure more evenly without sacrificing the rigidity needed for controlled abrasive work.
Gently brush off loose debris with a stiff brush or use compressed air. Avoid soaking or using strong solvents, as this can degrade the gripping material.
This is a rigid backing pad designed for stability and consistent contact, whereas flexible pads offer more give, suitable for contoured surfaces. This pad's rigidity is beneficial for controlled material removal and finishing.
While durable, its primary design is for sanding and surface conditioning tasks with non-woven discs. For high-speed polishing with buffing pads, a dedicated polishing pad would typically be used.
Ensure you are using a compatible non-woven disc (SCD) with the correct backing. Check that the pad's GRIP® surface is clean and free from debris. Ensure the disc is pressed firmly and evenly onto the pad.
Verify that the pad is securely threaded onto the tool's spindle. Check that the tool itself is functioning correctly and that the abrasive disc is balanced and properly attached to the pad. Ensure the tool's mounting threads are clean.
Clean the M14 threads on both the tool's spindle and the pad. Do not force the pad; ensure it is threading straight. If damage is suspected, do not use.
Setup: Ensure your rotary tool (e.g., angle grinder, polisher) has a standard M14 spindle thread. Screw the Flexipads Extragrip Pad onto the spindle until firmly seated. Attach your non-woven abrasive disc (SCD) by pressing it onto the GRIP® surface; it should adhere securely. Ensure the disc is centered and properly seated before operation.
Compatibility: This pad is specifically designed for use with non-woven abrasive discs (SCDs) that feature a compatible backing. It is compatible with rotary tools featuring an M14 spindle thread.
Care: After use, remove any dust or debris from the pad's surface using a soft brush or compressed air. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents, which could damage the GRIP® material. Store the pad in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
