0814 Aluminum Backer Pads

An aluminum backer pad, also known as an aluminum backing pad or a metal backer plate, is a tool accessory used primarily with power tools like angle grinders, polishers, or sanders. It serves as a support base for abrasive discs, polishing pads, or similar attachments.

Aluminum Backer Pad:

• Material: Made of aluminum, which is lightweight yet strong and durable.

• Usage: Typically used with power tools such as angle grinders, polishers, or sanders.

• Application: Commonly used for sanding, polishing, buffing, and cleaning tasks on various surfaces, including metal, wood, stone, and plastic.

• Design: Often has a flat surface with a central mounting hole for attaching it to a power tool. Some pads may have grooves or patterns to improve the grip between the pad and the abrasive or polishing disc.

• Size and Shape: Available in various sizes and shapes, depending on the intended use and the tool it will be attached to.

• Thickness: The thickness can vary, affecting the rigidity and pressure distribution during use. Thicker pads tend to be more rigid, while thinner ones offer more flexibility.

• Benefits: Provides a stable and secure base for abrasive or polishing discs, helps distribute pressure evenly, and can be used for both flat and slightly curved surfaces.

• Durability: Aluminum backer pads are generally durable and resistant to wear and tear, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.

• Safety: Use with appropriate safety gear, including eye protection and gloves, especially when using abrasive materials.

• Compatibility: Designed to fit specific types of power tools and attachments, usually with a threaded or hook-and-loop fastening system.
