Key Features

• Flexible 8" Design: The super-flex construction allows the pad to conform accurately to intricate curves, body lines, and transitions, effectively minimizing edge digging, flat spots, and swirl marks on panels.
• Optimized PSA Compatibility: The pad's vinyl face provides strong, reliable adhesion for peel-and-stick PSA discs, ensuring secure attachment and reducing slippage or disc fly-off during aggressive sanding operations.
• 5/8"-11 Threaded Arbor: This pad is directly compatible with most common dual-action (DA) polishers and grinders utilized in collision repair, fleet maintenance, and industrial refinishing applications.
• Low Vibration Operation: Engineered for smooth performance up to 4800 RPM, this design contributes to reduced operator fatigue during extended sanding sessions, promoting comfort and control.
• Durable Construction: Built with resilient foam and a molded polymer backing, this pad is designed to withstand the demands of daily shop use, maintaining consistent flexibility and cut control over time.

Applications

This super flex pad is suitable for a diverse range of professional tasks. In automotive refinishing, it excels at leveling primer and body filler, sanding clearcoat, and feathering paint edges on passenger cars, light trucks, and commercial vehicles. It is also effective for metal fabrication work, assisting in rust removal and weld smoothing on steel and aluminum. Furthermore, the pad is commonly employed for contour sanding on fiberglass, plastics, and composite panels within marine, industrial, and woodworking environments where a flexible PSA pad is essential.
