Tools & Materials
The sanding pad both holds the sandpaper and provides a flat surface for sanding. This pad uses hook and loop paper and has holes to work with dust collection. Over time, the pad will wear out. It will become nicked around the edge if it is struck against something while sanding. The hook and loop surface will wear away and no longer hold paper. The hook and loop will wear away much faster, if pressure is applied to the sander while it is used.
