Product
The Mirka 125mm Backing Pad with 28 holes is designed for use with random orbit sanders, providing a reliable interface between the sander and abrasive disc for consistent surface finishing results.
Specifications
- 125mm diameter backing pad compatible with 28-hole dust extraction abrasive discs
- Medium hardness grade (Black), offering a balanced combination of flexibility and support suited to flat and slightly contoured surfaces
- Engineered to work within the Mirka ecosystem, ensuring optimal alignment with Mirka abrasive discs and sanding tools
- Hook-and-loop fastening system for quick and secure disc attachment and removal
- Constructed to withstand repeated use under standard random orbital sanding conditions
Usage
Attach the backing pad to a compatible 125mm random orbit sander. Fix a 125mm 28-hole abrasive disc onto the hook-and-loop surface. The 28-hole pattern aligns with the sander's dust extraction ports, enabling efficient dust removal during sanding operations on wood, metal, or painted surfaces.
FAQ
- Is this backing pad compatible with all 125mm random orbit sanders? It is designed for 125mm random orbit sanders with a standard spindle fitting, but compatibility should be verified with the specific sander model before use.
- What does the medium hardness grade mean? Medium hardness provides a balance between rigidity and flexibility, making it suitable for flat surfaces and gentle contours without sacrificing control.
- Why does the pad have 28 holes? The 28-hole pattern is designed to align with Mirka's dust extraction abrasive discs, maximising airflow and dust collection efficiency during sanding.
- How do I attach abrasive discs to this pad? The pad uses a hook-and-loop system, allowing abrasive discs to be pressed firmly onto the surface and removed easily when worn or when changing grit.
- When should I replace the backing pad? Replace the pad when the hook-and-loop surface shows significant wear, when hooks no longer grip discs securely, or if the pad shows signs of deformation affecting sanding quality.
