Mirka 3 Interface Pad / Hook and Loop / 6 Holes / 5 pcs

The softpad, attached between the grinding plate and grinding wheels using Velcro, protects the grinding plate/grinding shoe of your sanding machine or sanding block from damage and wear. To prolong the life of the grinding plate, the softpad should be changed regularly. Soft pads allow the abrasive to optimally adapt to surface irregularities, making them especially suitable for finest grinding work and contour grinding, preventing overgrinding.

The soft pad is placed between the grinding plate and the grinding wheel, serving as a crucial component in your sanding or grinding setup. By cushioning the contact between the abrasive surface and the workpiece, the softpad helps to maintain the integrity of the grinding plate, reducing the risk of premature wear and tear.

The use of Velcro to secure the softpad ensures a secure and adjustable fit, allowing you to easily replace the pad as needed. This flexibility is particularly important, as regular replacement of the softpad is recommended to maximize the lifespan of the grinding plate.

One of the key benefits of the softpad is its ability to adapt to surface irregularities. The soft and pliable nature of the pad allows the abrasive to conform more closely to the workpiece, resulting in a more even and efficient grinding or sanding process. This is especially beneficial for finest grinding work and contour grinding, where the ability to navigate complex shapes and surfaces is crucial.

The softpad's adaptability also helps to prevent overgrinding, a common issue in sanding and grinding applications. By evenly distributing the pressure and reducing localized hotspots, the softpad helps to maintain a consistent and controlled removal of material, ensuring a high-quality finish without the risk of damaging the workpiece.

In summary, the softpad is a versatile and essential component in your sanding or grinding setup. By protecting the grinding plate, allowing for optimal adaptation to surface irregularities, and preventing overgrinding, the softpad contributes to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of your sanding or grinding operations. Regular replacement of the softpad is recommended to maintain the performance and longevity of your sanding machine or sanding block.
