FlexPad 8-Inch Soft Sanding Pad - 5/8"-11 Hub

The 8-Inch Soft FlexPad is a versatile, high-performance tool and an essential addition to any sanding bay. Proudly Made in the USA, this cloth-backed pad is specifically engineered to bridge the gap between aggressive material removal and delicate finishing, making it the ideal choice for both seasoned professionals and those new to the craft.

The "Soft" density is highly regarded for sanding epoxy glass jobs. The unique flex of the foam allows the shaper to "lean into" the work, providing better control and a more consistent finish on the tougher surface of epoxy resin. Because of its forgiving nature, it is also the recommended "all-around" pad for beginners, significantly reducing the risk of "digging in" or creating flat spots on the rails and rockers. To ensure safety and tool longevity, this pad has a Max RPM of 1750.

Equipped with a standard 5/8"-11 female hub, this pad is compatible with most American power sanders and polishers, including Makita and DeWalt models. You can easily attach standard 9" x 11" sandpaper sheets using spray adhesive or opt for the efficiency of self-adhesive Indasa discs for quick transitions between grits.

Pro Tip: When sanding with the Soft FlexPad, keep the tool moving in long, fluid passes. This pad is excellent for "blending" the flats into the rails, but remember to let the RPMs do the work rather than applying excessive downward pressure.
