3M Soft Interface Disc Pad is constructed of ½ inch soft density foam with a 3M Clean Sanding hole pattern to allow dust extraction and minimize loading during sanding. The soft foam construction enables the pad to conform to edges and contours, making it a good match for sensitive workpieces where gouging and marring is a top concern.
From the Manufacturer
The 3M™ Clean Sanding Soft Interface Disc Pad 28321 is constructed of 1/2" soft density foam with a 3M Clean Sanding 44-hole pattern to add conformability to a 5" Clean Sanding Hookit™ backup pad (sold separately). The soft interface disc pad provides a greater cushion and more conformability than a pad with medium density foam. Use this pad to reduce edge cutting when the pad is tipped on edge and maintain closer contact with the edge while maximizing dust extraction. The pad contains a series of uniquely designed holes and channels which allow dust to be pulled through the holes and away from the sanding surface. This improves the work environment and prolongs disc life.
The 3M Clean Sanding dust-management system evacuates dust from the work surface better than 5- or 6-hole products, dramatically increasing disc life and maximizing cut-rate. Optimized with a self-generated vacuum sanding tool fitted with a Clean Sanding filter bag (sold separately), Clean Sanding products allow the vacuum to suction dust from the air and off of the workpiece. This reduces loading of the disc and adds life to the abrasive. Additionally, reducing dust in the air improves working conditions. You can also pair Clean Sanding abrasives with Clean Sanding disc pads for use on a central-vacuum-ready sander.

The title of this item says "Pack of 10", but I received only a single interface pad in a single-wrap bag with instructions sheet.This isn't a pack of 10 - it is a pack of 1 for the price of 10. Nice quality item but not worth the money, especially with the misleading quantity.

This interface is great. Just sanded an old table with a rounded edge and the pad made the job super easy - and - no flat spots from sanding!

Good for sanding contours better than stock. Takes a little more time to align but worth the few extra seconds.

These work great for sanded in oil finishes on my furniture projects. I keep several on hand just for this purpose. Keeps the oil & sawdust sludge out of my tool

Bought this because I needed to sand down the side of a car. It works very well for making sure your sanding is even but not the best solution if you really need some pressure on whatever you are sanding. The holes didn't do much for me but I also didn't use their special sanding pads so that was expected. Velcro was fine and never came off.

This pad is a game changer, perfect for finishing touches and furniture. I'm a profession carpenter, woodworker and woodworking instructor. I've used these pads for years and they never let down. When you want to "break the edges" as we call it (smooth over a sharp edge), put on a 320 or even 600 grit disc and make quick work of it. Whenever my friends/clients/students see a new furniture piece of mine, the first thing they do is feel the finish. They're always amazed at how smooth the edges are. Pro tips:-When removing the pad from your sander, be sure to grip the first layer (the hook and loop part affixed to the pad). If you don't, the interface pad will peel apart.-Don't run your sander for long without the interface pad against the material that you're sanding. The interface pad will fly off.-Before you apply your finish, rub down your piece with a damp, clean rag. Wait for it to air dry and then sand it again at the highest, last grit. Doing this raises the grain and allows you to knock it down. This is especially important when using water-based finishes as they will raise the grain.

I tried to buy this pad at a dozen hardware stores and auto shops. Amazon was the only vendor I could find. It was a little pricier than I was expecting but I tried it out last night and it worked perfect! The quality is nice too.

I needed this to random orbit sand some profiles. It "sticks" by velcro to the velcro sanding pad on my Dewalt RO sander. Dust collection seems unaffected. I wish, though, Dewalt would come out with a soft pad that attaches directly to the sander. This pad seemed to hold OK ,but durability and adhesion in the long run may be an issue. I would strongly recommend not to use without eye protection because if it does fail to adhere no telling where it might go !

Super happy with this product. One face has hooks, the other face has loops. It goes a REALLY long way for helping apply "even" sanding pressure, which has really given me some great results in the short time that i've had it.It fits any 5" random orbital sander that uses hook-and-loop for hanging onto the sandpaper. For some reason, there's a safety warning of some sort when you check out....you have to put a check in a box saying that you've read the instructions and you're a professional user or some such shenanigans.The only complaint i have is that the holes dont seem to match a "standard" hole pattern...they just rely on the fact that there's a bunch of them to make it work.

The disk works just fine. It is soft enough to conform to the outside of my bowls as I sand them. The 5" diameter helps me sand the bowls much faster then with my 3" disc setup.. The hook-n-loop holds very well.

Very effective cushioned interface for sanding convex and concave surfaces. Works well with my DeWalt random orbit sander. Easy to apply and remove sanding discs.
