A backing pad is a disc-shaped attachment for sanders or polishers.
This pad plays a critical role in enhancing the contact area between the grinding or polishing tool and the surface being worked on, promoting even and uniform polishing. It also absorbs vibrations, thereby reducing operator fatigue and increasing the tool's longevity. Backing pads come in various materials like soft sponge, hard wool, or soft felt, each offering distinct polishing effects suitable for different applications. These pads are integral in automotive maintenance, woodworking, and painting tasks.
When selecting a backing pad, factors such as the size of the grinding tool, the material of the surface to be polished, and the specific requirements of the polishing task should be taken into account.
