Sanding with handheld machines<br />

Oscillation<br />

The example of the random orbital sander can be used to demonstrate that the operating range of the backing<br />

pad has a decisive effect on stock removal volume and surface quality. As a general rule, the more “sweeping”<br />

the oscillation of the backing pad, the greater the stock removal, but the rougher the surface quality as well.<br />

The relationship is reversed when the degree of oscillation decreases.<br />

Backing pad HST 555 for random<br />

orbital sanders<br />

This self-fastening backing pad connects velours-backed abrasives<br />

with the machine. It allows for a controlled distribution of the tool<br />

pressure across the workpiece surfaces thanks to different grades<br />

of backing pad hardness. Its multihole pattern makes it suitable<br />

for all standard hole patterns.<br />
