Sanding Accessories
Backing pads and sanding discs are not included. For sanding, purchase a compatible backing pad and matching hook-and-loop discs separately:
- 125mm backing pad with 125mm sanding discs: A smaller option for more controlled work on narrower areas.
- 150mm backing pad with 150mm sanding discs: Covers more surface area for larger sanding tasks.
Sanding discs are available in different grits. Choose the grit to suit the material and finish required: coarser grits remove material faster, while finer grits help smooth the surface. Check the backing pad’s fitting and maximum speed rating before use.
