Overview
If you plan to make extensive use of Abranet mesh abrasives, these sanding pad protectors will help to prevent premature wear on your sanding pad. Continuous and aggressive sanding with Abranet can sometimes be hard on sanding pads since dust and debris can migrate freely through the abrasive discs. To remedy this, the protector is positioned between the backing pad and the sanding disc to provide cushioning and protection.
Features:
- Prolongs the life of your sanding pad
- Randomized hole patten fits any 5'' sander
- Hook-and-loop on one side, Grip on the other—just place between the sanding pad and the abrasive disc
- Low cost and easily replaced
- Helps to improve dust collection through Abranet mesh

Extra protection?
I read somewhere (Mirka literature?) that the "velcro" hooks on the Mirka pads can be detrimental to the hook-loop pads on sanders. So just in case, I use these. Ive tried them on my old Porter Cable 5" VS random, orbital sander. For a Festool sander, I punched a hole in the center of the pad. Wish these had a center hole for those. Im still checking out the Abranet sanding discs. So far they are appealing and dust collection is good - no worry about lining up particular holes on the sander. I'll use the pad protectors if there is otherwise an increased risk to an expensive sander pad. They do add some cushion too, which may help on some surfaces.
