Without the Pad Protector, the white hooks of the backing plate would very likely protrude through the disc, resulting in damage to the backing plate and the surface being sanded. Always use a Pad Protector with net mesh discs.<br/><br/>Working on curved or complex shapes? To maximize flexibility of net mesh discs, install a purpose-built Abranet Interface Pad between the backing plate and disc. Abranet Interface Pads feature a low profile piece of foam, which is sandwiched  between the same type of hook and loop material used to make Abranet Pad Protectors.<br/><br/>Mirka 9947 | 3" Abranet Pad Protector • 1/16" tall<br/><br/>The Mirka 9947 3" Abranet Pad Protector is designed to to be used with Abranet and Autonet sanding discs.  The open mesh design employed in Abranet and Autonet products allow the backing plate's Velcro-style hooks to protrude through the mesh. If this occurs, the hooks can degrade quickly, AND cause marring of the surface being sanded!<br/><br/>Avoid this problem by installing a Pad Protector.  This simple device will not only protect the backing plate and surface being sanded, it also increases adhesion of the sanding disc to the backing plate.<br/><br/>Mirka 9133 | 3" Abranet Velcro Interface Pad • 3/16" tall<br/><br/>The Mirka 9133 3" Abranet Interface Pad is designed to to be used with Abranet and Autonet sanding discs.  The open mesh design employed in Abranet and Autonet products allow the backing plate's Velcro-style hooks to protrude through the mesh. If this occurs, the hooks can degrade quickly, AND cause marring of the surface being sanded!<br/><br/>Avoid problems by installing this interface pad (or the Mirka 9947 Pad Protector).  Specialized hooks eliminate the potential for damage to the surface being sanded, and efficiently grab ahold of Abranet and Autonet Net Mesh Discs.<br/><br/>Mirka 9133 | 1033 | 9947 | 3" Velcro Interface Pads<br/><br/>This trio of Mirka 3" Interface Pads can improve the performance of any Velcro-backed sanding disc.  The Mirka 1033 and 9133 include a cushiony foam interlayer (sandwiched between layers of hook and loop Velcro), which helps sanding discs to readily conform to complex surfaces. They also help to compensate for inadvertent tilting of the machine during sanding.<br/><br/>The Mirka 9133 and 9947 were originally designed for use with Mirka Abranet and Autonet Sanding Discs, but can be used with other types of disc as well.<br/><br/>Mirka Abranet Mesh Fabric Sanding Discs.<br/><br/>HP3-VELCRO<br/>3" Dome-Shaped Velcro Hand Sanding Pad.<br/><br/>Shown with the included 3" Foam Velcro Interface Pad.<br/><br/>Mirka Abranet Mesh Fabric Sanding Discs.<br/><br/>3" Velcro Dome Hand Sanding Pad, and Mirka 9133 3" Abranet Velcro Interface Pad face.<br/>1033 | 1066 | 1066F | 1066SF<br/>  Mirka Velcro Interface Pads<br/><br/>When a sanding disc is mounted directly onto a backing plate, its ability to contour is limited by plate rigidity. Although leveling capability might increase, edge-digging is likely to occur. Full-width utiliztion of the disc becomes difficult when sanding complex surfaces. When an interface pad is installed between the backing plate and disc, contourability increases.<br/><br/>If the machine is tilted off-kilter, the interface pad aids in keeping the full width of the disc in complete contact with the sanding surface. Attempting to sand using a small section of a disc can be difficult; an interface pad can make all the difference.<br/><br/>About Mirka Interface Pads<br/><br/>Interface Pads are placed between backing plates and sanding discs, with the intent to substantially improve overall sanding performance. Interface pads enable sanding discs to conform to their maximum ability.They also assist in distributing machine weight, and user-applied pressure.<br/><br/>An interface pad can decrease uncontrolled wandering of the machine, which occurs when a disc cannot conform to the surface being sanded (due to backing plate rigidity). If the choice is made to use only a portion of the disc by intentionally tilting the machine, the portion in contact with the sanding surface receives adequate support from the interface pad.<br/><br/>

Autonet specifications listed here.


Includes a Mirka Pad Protector.
Installs between the disc and backing plate. Info: 3" Protector | 6" Protector

 Add a Mirka Interface Pad.
Interface pads increase contourability and help to better distribute applied pressure across the face of the disc.  This particular interface pad is designed specifically for use with Autonet Discs, and features hooks that will not protrude through the net mesh material. Info: 3" Interface | 6" Interface

Add a 3" Dome-Style Velcro Hand Sanding Pad.
Uniquely shaped 3-inch diameter sanding block makes sanding by hand a breeze to accomplish. The yellow cushiony material is soft, making it easy to grasp, even when wet. The Velcro face is molded onto the yellow polymer material (not glued), so adhesion failure is highly unlikely. An included soft & cushiony foam interface pad is designed to increase contourability of all Velcro-style sanding discs. Info: 3" Dome-Style Velcro Hand Sanding Pad

Add a 3M 05791 Hookit 6" Flexible Velcro Hand Pad.
Flexible Round Hand Pad. Helps to distribute pressure much more evenly.  The elastic strap keeps the pad attached to your hand while you sand, increasing comfort and control.  If you use a water bucket while wet sanding, you'll appreciate this fact:  It floats! Info: 6" Flexible Velcro Hand Pad

Add a 6" 3M 05792 Hookit 6" Half-Round Velcro Hand Pad.
This taco-shaped pad is somewhat rigid, with only minimal flexibility. Its straight edge features a smooth 1/4" radius, enabling it to be used inside inward-curved areas. Although designed for use with 6-inch diameter discs, it is not an exact fit: it's as if someone didn't account for the 1/4" radius. Regardless, this 3M version is the best fitting (and thinnest) available. Info: 6" Half-Round Velcro Hand Pad
