Backing pads are essential accessories designed to support and secure abrasive discs, sanding sheets, or polishing pads to power tools such as angle grinders, orbital sanders, and rotary polishers. Acting as an interface between the tool and the abrasive, backing pads provide stability, cushioning, and consistent pressure during sanding, grinding, or polishing applications.
Available in various sizes, hardness levels, and attachment types—including hook-and-loop (Velcro), threaded, and quick-change—backing pads ensure optimal contact with the workpiece while helping to absorb vibrations and extend the life of the abrasive material. Some models are specifically engineered for high-speed or heavy-duty tasks, while others are more flexible for fine finishing work.
Whether for woodworking, metalwork, automotive refinishing, or surface preparation, the right backing pad improves control, comfort, and finish quality.
