Rupes 6" Interface Pad

In the world of sanding discs, rigidity equals leveling. But, rigid-backed discs are not reasonable to use for most tasks, since  the end result would mimic what a grinding disc might deliver. For this reason, the majority of sanding discs available today are engineered to be flexible. An interface pad can increase the contourability of a disc, even if the machine is outfitted with a rigid backing plate.

Interface pads can also help to evenly distribute machine movement and user-applied pressure. They can also increase user comfort during sanding. Interface pads work equally well when sanding curvy and  flat surfaces. The Rupes 981.460 measures only 1/4-inch in height, so it works well with machines that generate very small orbital motions.
