Description

Protect your sanding pad and maximise its service life with the Mirka Deros Pad Saver, available in both 125mm and 150mm sizes. Designed to fit between the backing pad and sanding disc, Pad Savers act as a protective interface layer that absorbs wear caused by frequent abrasive changes and demanding sanding applications. This helps preserve the hook-and-loop surface of the backing pad, reducing replacement costs and maintaining optimal sanding performance.

Ideal for use with Mirka random orbital sanders and net abrasives such as Abranet, the Pad Saver features a multi-hole design that maintains efficient dust extraction while providing a secure grip between the backing pad and abrasive disc. By taking the wear instead of the backing pad itself, Pad Savers are a simple and cost-effective way to extend the lifespan of your sanding equipment.

Suitable for woodworking, decorating, automotive refinishing, composite processing and industrial sanding applications, Mirka Pad Savers help maintain consistent abrasive attachment and reliable dust extraction throughout the life of your backing pad.

Available as individual replacements in 125mm and 150mm diameters.
