Mirka 3" Soft-Faced Interface Pad- 1/2" thick
Mirka 1033 | 3" Velcro Interface Pad • 1/2" tall<br/><br/>The Mirka 1033 3" Velcro Interface Pad utilizes low-profile micro hooks, which strongly secure sanding discs into place (even during heavy friction, high RPM sanding).<br/><br/>When sanding using thin or flimsy sanding discs, short hooks ensure a flat and consistent cut, and lessen the potential for "hook marking" of the sanding surface.<br/><br/> Matched low-profile Velcro loops keep the interface pad tightly attached to the backing plate, which minimizes friction-induced heat caused by rapid & repeated shifting of the hooks and loops.<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 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.

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/>HP3-VELCRO<br/>3" Dome-Shaped Velcro Hand Sanding Pad.<br/><br/>Shown with the included 3" Foam Velcro Interface Pad.<br/><br/>HP3-VELCRO<br/><br/>3" Dome-Shaped Velcro Hand Sanding Pad.<br/><br/>Left: Shown with a Mirka® Autonet Mesh Fabric Sanding Disc, and a Mirka 9947 Pad Protector.<br/>Right: Shown with a Mirka® 1033 3" Foam Velcro Interface Pad.<br/><br/>HP3-VELCRO<br/>3" Velcro Dome Hand Sanding Pad.<br/><br/>Shown with Mirka 9133 3" Abranet Velcro Interface Pad.<br/><br/>HP3-VELCRO<br/>3" Velcro Dome Hand Sanding Pad.<br/><br/>Shown with Mirka 9133 3" Abranet Velcro Interface Pad, and a 3" Autonet Mesh Fabric Sanding Disc.<br/><br/>

A quality interface pad, for just about any sanding task.

The time may come when you'll need to sand a sphere-shaped item, a cylinder, or a wickedly-curved fender. To achieve maximum cushioning and shapability of the sanding disc, this is the interface pad you'll need. The Mirka 1033 3" Velcro Interface Pad measures 3" in diameter, and is 1/2" tall. Also available in a 6" version: 1066SF

Note that due to its height, this interface pad may lessen sanding disc movement, particularly if paired with small stroke machines. Please view photos for more information.

Add a Dome-Style Hand Sanding Pad. This uniquely shaped block makes sanding by hand a breeze to accomplish. Its yellow cushiony material is soft, making it easy to grasp, even when wet. The Velcro face is molded into place (not glued), so pad failure is  unlikely. A soft interface pad is included (interface is not a Mirka product).

Designed for use with Abranet and Autonet Sanding Discs.

The open mesh design employed in Abranet and Autonet products may allow the hook material of a backing plate to protrude through the mesh. If this occurs, the backing plate hooks will degrade quickly. Even worse, the hook material can cause surface marring! Avoid this problem by installing a Pad Protector. Also available in a 6" version: 9956

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. Since the Pad Protector is only about 1/16" thick, in most cases it will not affect the leveling capability of the disc.

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/>HP3-VELCRO<br/>3" Dome-Shaped Velcro Hand Sanding Pad.<br/><br/>Shown with the included 3" Foam Velcro Interface Pad.<br/><br/>HP3-VELCRO<br/><br/>3" Dome-Shaped Velcro Hand Sanding Pad.<br/><br/>Left: Shown with a Mirka® Autonet Mesh Fabric Sanding Disc, and a Mirka 9947 Pad Protector.<br/>Right: Shown with a Mirka® 1033 3" Foam Velcro Interface Pad.<br/><br/>HP3-VELCRO<br/>3" Velcro Dome Hand Sanding Pad.<br/><br/>Shown with Mirka 9133 3" Abranet Velcro Interface Pad.<br/><br/>HP3-VELCRO<br/>3" Velcro Dome Hand Sanding Pad.<br/><br/>Shown with Mirka 9133 3" Abranet Velcro Interface Pad, and a 3" Autonet Mesh Fabric Sanding Disc.<br/><br/>

Designed for use with Abranet and Autonet Sanding Discs.

The open mesh design employed in Abranet and Autonet products may allow the hook material of a backing plate to protrude through the mesh. If this occurs, the backing plate hooks will degrade quickly. Even worse, the hook material can cause surface marring! Avoid this problem by installing this Interface Pad. Also available in a 6" version: 9166

The Mirka 9133 Abranet Interface Pad protects the backing plate and sanding surface, all the while increasing adhesion of sanding discs to the backing plate. A soft and pliable foam interlayer (3/16" tall) allows an attached disc to flex and conform to curved or complex shapes. Using a vacuum system for ultra-clean sanding? Three vacuum holes ensure a thorough cleaning of the sanding surface when using net mesh discs.

Add a Dome-Style Hand Sanding Pad. This uniquely shaped block makes sanding by hand a breeze to accomplish. Its yellow cushiony material is soft, making it easy to grasp, even when wet. The Velcro face is molded into place (not glued), so pad failure is  unlikely. A soft interface pad is included (interface is not a Mirka product).

Add a Pad Protector. No need for cushioning? Check out the Mirka 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. Since the Pad Protector is only about 1/16" thick, in most cases it will not affect the leveling capability of the disc.

To date, this is the finest 6" interface pad I've used for sanding automotive paint. Its hook and loop materials have been precisely matched, effectively eliminating distortion or curling of the pad.  Under abusive conditions, its foam center remains resilient and responsive.  Optimized for use with Meguiar's Unigrit™ Sanding & Foam Finishing Discs, yet it works well with all hook & loop systems.

Optimized for use with Meguiar's Unigrit™ Sanding Discs.
Works well with all hook & loop systems, too.


This durable and well-engineered interface pad is a great addition to any sanding arsenal. It features a low profile micro-hook attachment material. The short yet grippy hook design firmly locks the disc in place until sanding is complete. Disc removal is a breeze, so no more prying the interface from the plate using gorilla-like power thrusts.

Micro hook attachment material is ideal for use with sanding discs because the hooks will not protrude beyond the loop-backing. This can be a principal cause of those pesky pigtail markings so often found in freshly sanded paint, wood, and plastics (especially when soft-backed sanding discs are used).

A high quality, all-purpose interface.

Interface pads are a necessity for machine sanding. If you were to own just one interface pad, this may be the one you'd want!

The foam material used to make this pad features a middle of the road firmness, while its 1/2" height is sufficient for most tasks.

Should you decide to pair your machine with a vacuum system, six holes ensure ample cleaning of the sanding surface and disc.

Looking for a similarly versatile pad with a bit more firmness and a little less height?
Try the Mirka 1066F.

Note: Due to its 1/2" height, this interface pad may lessen sanding disc movement in relation to the backing plate, especially when used with small stroke machines.

When used with random orbital machines, backing plate rotation may also be affected.

Ahh, a super nice 6" interface pad.  Its foam center is firmer than most, enabling it to transfer machine movements accurately.  I really like the height, too.  The hook material is interesting- each "hook" is straight, with a little sphere on the end.  Easy on, easy off.  Any serious "interface aficionado" MUST own one.

Minimize the loss of machine motion while maximizing flexibility of the sanding disc.

Interface pads are oh-so useful. However, as their foam centers twist, compress, and rebound, machine motion can be dramatically affected.

This pad has been designed to minimize this side-effect, all the while delivering increased flexibility of the disc.  Compared to most other interface pads, this one transfers machine motion fairly unscathed.

Should you decide to pair your machine with a vacuum system, fifteen holes ensure ample cleaning of the sanding surface and disc.

Looking for a similarly versatile pad with a bit more pliability and a little more height?
Try the Mirka 1066.

Note: Due to its 3/8" height, this interface pad may lessen sanding disc movement in relation to the backing plate, especially when used with small stroke machines.

When used with random orbital machines, backing plate rotation may also be affected.

For wickedly-curved surfaces, you'll want this soft & puffy interface.

At some point, the time may come when you'll need to sand a sphere-shaped item, a large cylinder, or even a wickedly-curved fender. Be prepared! This is the interface you'll need.

The foam used to make this interface is a bit stiffer than the type used to make the Mirka 9166. However, the height of this pad increases cushioning ability versus the 9166.

Available in 3" & 6" diameters (3" version is 1/2" tall, 3" part #1033).

Note: Due to its 3/4" height, this interface pad may lessen sanding disc movement in relation to the backing plate, especially when used with small stroke machines.

When used with random orbital machines, backing plate rotation may also be affected.

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.

Designed for use with Abranet and Autonet Sanding Discs.

This interface pad was primarily designed for use with net mesh discs such as Abranet® and Autonet™, but works well with all hook & loop systems.

The open mesh design employed in Abranet® and Autonet™ products may allow the hook material of a typical backing plate to protrude through the mesh.   If this occurs, the backing plate hooks will degrade quickly. Even worse, the hook material can cause surface marring!

Avoid this problem by installing this interface pad.  Its hook characteristics have been optimized to perform exceptionally well with net mesh products.

The foam center is soft and very pliable, allowing an attached disc to flex and conform to curved or complex shapes. Using a vacuum system with your machine? This interface features over sixty vacuum holes, assuring a thorough cleaning of the sanding surface and disc. Available in 3" & 6" diameters (6" part #9133).

Notes:
1. If you don't need the extra cushioning for your net mesh discs but wish to use an appropriate interface, check out Mirka's Pad Protector.  They are available in 3" & 6" diameters (3" part #9947, and 6" part #9956).

2. Due to its 3/8" height, this interface pad may lessen sanding disc movement in relation to the backing plate, especially when used with small stroke machines.  When used with random orbital machines, backing plate rotation may also be affected.
