Pad Savers
3” X 4” Soft Interface Pad (Grey) With 6 Holes for Vacuum
What’s a Pad Saver?
Exactly what it sounds like—it saves your backup pad from wear and tear. The Pad Saver is a thin, durable layer that fits between your backup pad and your abrasive, helping to prolong the life of your sander and reduce replacement costs over time.
Why Use One?
Whenever you're sanding with flat abrasives—like film, screen, or paper—a Pad Saver is essential. It prevents premature damage to your backup pad, improves your sanding experience, and helps your tool run smoother and more efficiently. It also reduces vibration and helps prevent "sander hop."
When Can You Skip It?
If you're using SurfPrep’s foam abrasives, you don’t have to use a Pad Saver—our foam products already have a built-in cushion. But many pros still keep a Pad Saver on their sander full-time, so they’re always protected.
Vacuum or Non-Vacuum?
-
Vacuum-Compatible Pad Saver: For sanders with dust extraction holes—ideal when using our mesh screen or film abrasives.
-
Non-Vacuum Pad Saver: For sanders without a dust extraction system, or when you're using abrasives that don't require airflow.
Pro Tip:
Using a lot of mesh screen abrasives? Go with the vacuum-compatible Pad Saver—it allows for superior dust extraction and cleaner finishes.
