Interface Pad for Rotex

[MrToolJunkie]

This might be a dumb question, but does the interface pad attach to one of the existing pads (soft or hard) on the Rotex and ETS sanders with hook & loop?  Just trying to figure out how it works.  Also, has anyone had success sanding concave surfaces with it -- think the inside of a sculpted seat?  How durable is it?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Yes, it hooks to your pad. I've used it on a convex surface with great results, never tried it on concave, but one of the FOG members posted about using it to sand a wooden shield he made for his son (don't remember who it was, doh).

It's made of a cellulose sponge-like material. So, it's as durable as you might expect for that sort of material. Just depends on how rough you are on it and the amount of pressure applied.

Thanks, Shane!  What I needed to know...

I used mine today for the first time to polish and it was really useful. I put it on between 320 grit Brilliant and a hard pad and then worked my way up through Platin 2 pads. It's really comfortable and the Rotex just floats across the surface. I think it is fairly durable but be careful when you pull it off the pad. You could get into quite a curve with it as it flexes a fair amount.

Thanks, Richard.  I think it is going to be just the ticket.  Getting ready to build some sculpted Maloof inspired chairs with Charles Brock's plans and I needed to find something that would work with my Rotex or ETS to follow the RAS.
