Sanding plate EINHELL kwb 488014, diameter 12.5 cm, for angle grinder, 1 pc

The EINHELL kwb 488014 sanding plate is a backing pad designed for use with angle grinders. With a diameter of 12.5 cm and a hook-and-loop surface, this single-piece plate secures sanding discs with fabric hook-and-loop backing and enables quick, tool-free disc changes. It functions as a support for abrasive discs when preparing surfaces, removing paint and rust, and smoothing wood, metal or composite materials. The universal hook-and-loop system makes it compatible with sanding discs from different manufacturers when the disc diameter matches.

Advantages

The sanding plate provides a stable, evenly cushioned support for hook-and-loop sanding discs, reducing vibration and improving contact with the workpiece. Its 12.5 cm diameter offers a balance between access to tight areas and effective coverage for larger surfaces. The hook-and-loop fastening allows fast, secure disc replacement without tools, improving workflow efficiency. The construction is intended for use on angle grinders and simplifies sanding, surface preparation and finishing tasks.

How to use

Attach the sanding plate to the spindle of a compatible angle grinder according to the grinder manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the power tool is switched off and disconnected from the power source. Align and press a sanding disc with a matching hook-and-loop backing onto the plate until it is fully seated. During sanding, hold the grinder firmly, maintain steady contact with the work surface, and use consistent, even passes. Replace worn discs by peeling them off and pressing a fresh hook-and-loop disc into place. Observe the maximum safe speed ratings of both the angle grinder and the sanding disc.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate safety equipment including eye protection, gloves and dust collection or a respirator when sanding. Select sanding disc grit according to task: coarser grits for material removal and finer grits for finishing. Avoid excessive pressure on the backing plate to prolong disc life and reduce heat build-up. Regularly inspect the plate and the hook-and-loop surface for wear and replace if attachment security is reduced.
