Backing Pad with Hook-and-Loop for Abrasive Discs 100 mm - MAR-POL

MAR-POL 100 mm hook-and-loop backing pad is designed to hold standard 100 mm abrasive discs securely on hand and power sanders. The pad provides a flat, stable support surface that helps maintain even contact between the abrasive and the workpiece during sanding, polishing or light grinding. Its hook-and-loop fastening enables quick change of discs and consistent alignment for repeatable results on wood, metal and composite surfaces.

Advantages

The backing pad offers reliable disc retention through a full-diameter hook-and-loop face and a firm but slightly compliant backing to improve contact across flat and slightly contoured surfaces. It reduces disc wobble and vibration compared with unsupported abrasives, contributing to smoother surface finishes. The pad is compatible with a wide range of standard 100 mm sanding and polishing discs and is suitable for both manual and machine-mounted applications.

Suitable for

• Sanding and smoothing wooden furniture and trim
• Removing paint, rust and corrosion from metal surfaces
• Polishing and finishing composite and fiberglass panels
• Light grinding and surface preparation before painting or coating

Key specifications

• Diameter: 100 mm suitable for standard 100 mm abrasive discs
• Attachment: hook-and-loop (velcro-style) face for quick disc changes
• Backing type: flat, slightly compliant support layer to improve contact and finish quality
• Compatibility: designed for use with hand sanders and compatible power sanding tools that accept 100 mm pads

How to use

Attach a compatible 100 mm abrasive disc by aligning its loop side with the pad's hook surface and pressing firmly to secure. Mount the backing pad to the sander according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the spindle or mounting thread is correctly seated and tightened. Operate the sander at the recommended speed for the chosen abrasive and material, keeping steady, even passes and light to moderate pressure to avoid overheating or excessive wear of the disc.

Usage recommendations

For best results, inspect both pad and abrasive disc before each use; replace the pad if the hook surface is excessively worn or compressed. Use appropriate grit progression for the task (coarser grits for stock removal, finer grits for finishing) and choose a pad with matching hardness to the workpiece geometry. Wear suitable personal protection and follow the sander manufacturer's safety guidelines.
