Sander Pad & Backing Plate (Rubber Foam)

This is an OEM sander pad and backing plate for a sander. It is most commonly replaced due to sudden uneven sanding or difficulty keeping the sandpaper properly attached. This part includes a steel plate with a foam pad fixed to it. The foam pad gives grip for the sandpaper to adhere firmly within the clamps. This foam material is prone to deteriorate over time, causing irregular sanding. If the pad is so worn that the metal plate is making contact with the paper, the sander will start to jump around. This is a very quick and easy repair. Simply remove the four screws holding the old pad in place, line up the the holes of the pad with the holes in the plate, and tighten the four screws back up (screws sold separately).
