Screw-mounted plastic backing pad MODECO MN-73-170, size 105×230 mm, is designed to hold abrasive mesh securely during manual or machine sanding. The backing pad provides a stable support surface for mesh abrasive sheets, enabling consistent contact with workpieces and even material removal on wood, paint, filler and similar surfaces. Its plastic construction reduces weight while maintaining sufficient stiffness for common sanding tasks.
Advantages
The screw-mounted design ensures firm attachment to compatible sanders or backing adaptors, reducing slippage during use. A flat, stable face keeps abrasive mesh in close contact with the substrate for uniform sanding results. Plastic construction provides corrosion resistance and lower weight compared with metal alternatives, while the 105×230 mm size accommodates long, rectangular mesh abrasive sheets used in surface preparation and finishing.
Suitable for
- Sanding and finishing of wooden surfaces
- Paint and varnish surface preparation
- Removal of fillers, putty and light material buildup
- Machine or manual sanding with compatible screw-mounted adapters
Key specifications
- Material: plastic
- Mount type: screw-mounted
- Usable surface dimensions: 105 × 230 mm
- Designed for use with abrasive mesh sheets
- Suitable for manual and machine sanding applications
How to use
Attach the backing pad to a compatible sander or adaptor using the screw-mount interface; ensure the pad is tightened securely before operation. Fit the abrasive mesh sheet over the pad and align it to the edges, making sure the mesh is held flat and taut. Operate the sander at an appropriate speed for the material and abrasive grade, using steady, even passes to achieve uniform sanding. After use, remove the mesh, inspect the pad for wear or damage, and clean any accumulated dust before storage.
Usage recommendations
Use abrasive mesh grades and sander speeds that match the workpiece material to avoid premature pad wear. Periodically check the screw connection and the pad surface for damage; replace the backing pad if the surface becomes warped or cracked to maintain sanding quality and safety.
