6″ 150mm INTERFACE PROTECTION PAD

WHAT YOU GET:
Choose Size: 6″, 150mm Interface Protection Pads
Choose Quantity: Bag of 2 or Bag of 6

SPECIFICATIONS:
Material: 2mm of Sponge Felt (vacuum pressed)
Attachment:The pad has a loop base to attach to your hook back-up pad and a hook face to attach your Hook & Loop compatible discs.
Machine: Orbital Sander with Backing Pad
Holes: 125mm = 33 holes. 150mm = 45 holes. Suits numerous machine configurations

FEATURES:
Interface pads are placed between the backing plate and sanding disc for multiple reasons. They increase the flexibility of a disc and help to evenly distribute machine movements and applied pressures, and can also increase comfort while you sand.
When used with backing pads heat and dust build up is reduced by up to 70%, so your sanding discs last longer and you get a better finish
Extensive hole extraction pattern designed to suit most machines and sanding disc hole configurations
An interface pad can buffer abrupt machine movements through its cushioning action
Interface pads can increase the flexibility of a sanding disc. This comes in particularly handy for working on curved, complex, or delicate surfaces
Interface pads can increase user comfort, because the foam cushioning can absorb high speed vibrations and side to side lateral movements that are created by the machine.

Hook and Loop Velcro Sanding Discs

Which grit should I choose on hook and loop discs?

The grit chosen depends on the job you need the orbital pad for. The grit of a piece of sandpaper refers to the quantity of abrasive units per square inch on the sanding disc. The low number of 60 indicates that there are not very many abrasive grains compared to the high number of 3,000. If there are a high number of units on the disc, the result will be very refined. However, more does not mean that the result will be better. It just depends on the project and the stage of completion.

Grit	Description
60 to 80	Extremely coarse sandpaper that is good for grinding rust from metals.
120 to 150	These disks have a strong impact and remove surface debris quickly.
220 to 320	The medium-grade sanding disks remove surface debris at a moderate pace.
1,200 to 2,000	These extremely fine surfaces are excellent for finishing work.

Why are there holes in the orbital sandpaper?

The holes in the orbital pads allow the sander to suck away the sawdust and throw it in the dust collection bag or chamber. If this does not occur, then dust gets trapped under the sander disk and keeps it from sanding efficiently. The hole configurations of the discs are standardised to suit the hole configuration on most mainstream orbital sanders ie a 125mm 5″ disc sander will usually have an 8 hole configuration. The presence or absence of any holes on the disk must be compatible with the sanding machine that you are using.

How do hook and loop orbital pads work?

Hook-and-loop sandpaper is similar to Velcro™ with the rough side called hook, and the softer side called loop. The “Loop” is on the backing of the sandpaper, whether that backing is paper, film, cloth or mesh. The “Hook” is on the back-up pad of an orbital or random orbital sander or the faceplate of a disc sander. These hooks and loops are used to attach the sandpaper to a machine such as a random orbital sander or disc sander. This makes it very simple to change the sandpaper. The Velcro keeps them secure and once positioned, they don’t move easily.
