Pad, multi-hole sanding pad Bosch 150 mm soft with M8 5/16" thread

Multi-hole sanding pad by Bosch with a 150 mm diameter and soft density, designed for use with compatible random orbital sanders. The pad features an M8 5/16" threaded connection for secure mounting and accepts hook-and-loop sanding discs. Built-in multi-hole dust extraction aligns with sanding disc holes to remove dust at the point of contact, improving surface visibility and reducing airborne debris during sanding of wood, painted surfaces and light finishing tasks.

Advantages

The soft-density construction conforms to slightly uneven surfaces, ensuring even sanding pressure and reduced risk of accidental gouging on delicate finishes. Multi-hole design provides effective dust extraction when connected to a vacuum system, helping to maintain a cleaner work area and extend abrasive life. The threaded M8 5/16" connection offers reliable attachment to compatible sanders and consistent rotational stability during operation.

Suitable for

• Sanding wood and timber surfaces
• Refinishing and smoothing painted or varnished surfaces
• Light material removal and surface preparation
• Use with hook-and-loop abrasive discs and dust extraction systems

Key specifications

• Pad diameter: 150 mm
• Density: soft (compliant for contour follow-up)
• Attachment type: threaded connection M8 5/16"
• Compatibility: for random orbital sanders accepting 150 mm hook-and-loop pads
• Dust extraction: multi-hole layout for vacuum connection

How to use

Attach the sanding pad to a compatible random orbital sander by threading the pad onto the machine's spindle using the M8 5/16" connection until secure. Fit an appropriate 150 mm hook-and-loop sanding disc that aligns with the pad's holes to enable dust extraction. Start sanding at low speed to check pressure and surface response, then increase speed as needed for the material and abrasive grit. Move the sander with steady, overlapping passes and avoid dwelling in one place to prevent excessive material removal or surface marks.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match abrasive grit to the task (coarser grits for material removal, finer grits for finishing). Use with a dust extraction system to maintain visibility and prolong abrasive life. Inspect the pad and abrasives regularly for wear; replace the pad if the hook-and-loop surface or foam backing is degraded to ensure consistent sanding performance.
