The softpad, which is attached between the grinding plate and grinding wheels using Velcro, serves to protect the grinding plate or 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, and preventing overgrinding.

Placed between the grinding plate and the grinding wheel, the softpad plays a crucial role in ensuring the efficient and effective operation of your sanding equipment.

The softpad's primary function is to act as a buffer, absorbing the impact and friction generated during the sanding process, thereby protecting the underlying grinding plate or grinding shoe from excessive wear and tear.

By utilizing a softpad, you can extend the lifespan of your sanding machine's critical components, reducing the need for frequent replacements and ultimately, saving time and money.

Moreover, the softpad's ability to adapt to surface irregularities allows for a more consistent and uniform sanding finish, as the abrasive can conform to the contours of the workpiece more effectively.

This is particularly beneficial when engaged in delicate finishing tasks or when working with intricate surfaces, where precision and attention to detail are of paramount importance.

The softpad's versatility extends beyond protecting the grinding plate; it also plays a crucial role in preventing overgrinding, a common issue that can lead to uneven surface finishes or even damage to the workpiece.

By cushioning the contact between the grinding wheel and the surface being sanded, the softpad helps to maintain a balanced and controlled grinding process, ensuring that the desired level of material removal is achieved without compromising the integrity of the workpiece.

Overall, the softpad is an indispensable component of any sanding system, offering a range of benefits that contribute to the efficiency, effectiveness, and longevity of your sanding equipment.
