BOSCH Backing pad [Expert for metal]

A backing pad disc is a type of accessory used with power tools for sanding and polishing applications. It serves as a base for attaching sanding or polishing discs, allowing them to be securely held in place while in use.

Backing pad discs are typically made from materials such as rubber, foam, or plastic, and they come in a variety of sizes and shapes to fit different power tools and applications. Some backing pad discs are designed for use with specific types of sanding or polishing discs, while others are more versatile and can be used with a range of discs.

Backing pad discs may feature a hook-and-loop or adhesive backing for attaching sanding or polishing discs, and they may also have vent holes to help dissipate heat and improve performance. Some backing pad discs are also designed to reduce vibration during use, which can make sanding and polishing more comfortable and reduce user fatigue.

When selecting a backing pad disc, it's important to consider the type of power tool it will be used with, the type of sanding or polishing discs to be attached, and the specific application. Some backing pad discs may be optimized for use with certain materials or for achieving specific finishes.
