Backing Pads & Mandrels

If you are looking for some high-quality backing pads and mandrels, then you are at the right place. Enrgtech provides you with a great variety of high-quality backing pads and Mandrels at reasonable prices. Backing pads work efficiently with mandrels and are a kind of accessory that attaches sanding and polishing accessories to power tools. Their abrasive parts are held tight with the backing pad with the help of a hooking fixture or a locking fix. Backing pads can be made from different materials that include rubber, composite resin, and aluminum. The mandrels help hold and secure the sanding drum to ensure a secure filament so that it does not fly off.

How to Use Backing Pads with Mandrels?

A backing pad can be attached to power tools in two ways. In the first method, you can use a mandrel that is built into the body of the pad, this type of design is more appropriate for tools that have a chuck, just like hand drills. The second type or method is more commonly used for tools with a spindle-like angle grinder. In this case, the backing pad will fit directly onto the tool's spindle, which will hold the pad and disc securely in one place. Backing pads for such applications are used more for heavy sanding purposes and are made of sturdy aluminum to meet the requirements. 

Backing Pads Types

There are various backing pads available that are chosen according to the disc sizes. Some extra features may be added for more complex power tools, like cooling vents. This will help prevent the disc from overheating and increase the tool's lifespan. Therefore, you must always be careful before investing your money in packing pads; make sure you buy the right one to avoid a reduced lifespan. Enrgtech offers an extensive range of backing pads and mandrels that will help you complete your tasks in the most efficient way possible.
