Sanding Pad MODECO MN-73-145, foam-backed plastic, hard, 120×260 mm

MODECO MN-73-145 hard foam-backed plastic sanding pad, sized 120×260 mm, is designed to secure abrasive sheets for manual or machine-assisted sanding. The rigid foam backing combines firmness with slight compliance to keep the abrasive flat against the work surface, enabling even material removal and consistent surface contact. This sanding pad is suitable for woodworking, carpentry and general surface preparation where control and uniform pressure are important.

Advantages

The hard foam layer provides stable support while allowing minimal flex to follow minor surface contours, reducing chatter and uneven wear on abrasive sheets. The plastic carrier is lightweight, durable and resistant to common workshop conditions, ensuring reliable performance during repeated use. The rectangular 120×260 mm footprint offers a broad working area for faster coverage compared with smaller blocks, while remaining compact enough for detailed work along edges and flat panels.

Suitable for

• Sanding flat wooden panels and boards
• Preparing surfaces before painting or finishing
• Carpentry tasks requiring controlled hand sanding
• Smoothing filler or putty and feathering edges
• Light metal deburring and surface conditioning with appropriate abrasives

Key specifications

• Shape: rectangular
• Dimensions: 120 × 260 mm
• Backing stiffness: hard (rigid foam)
• Use: compatible with hand-held sanding and machine-assisted sanding where sheet attachment is supported

How to use

Attach a suitably sized abrasive sheet to the pad following the abrasive manufacturer's attachment method. Hold the pad with even pressure and move it across the workpiece along the grain where applicable, keeping strokes consistent to avoid creating dips. For machine-assisted sanding, ensure the pad is compatible with the machine's attachment system and check that the mounting is secure before operation. Replace the abrasive sheet when worn to maintain effective cutting and prevent surface damage.

Usage recommendations

Use medium to fine grits for finishing and surface preparation; coarser grits only for initial material removal. Keep pressure moderate and distribute it evenly across the pad to extend abrasive life and preserve surface flatness. Store the pad clean and dry, and inspect for damage before use to ensure consistent results.
