Festool 489252 – SSH-STF 80x130/12 Sanding Pad

Description

Festool 489252 SSH-STF-80×130/12 Soft Sanding Pad

The Festool 489252 is the SSH-STF-80×130/12, the standard soft replacement backing pad for the Festool RTS 400, RS 400 and RTSC 400 orbital sanders. It is the hook and loop face your abrasive sheets attach to, so replace it when the StickFix hooks wear down and sheets stop holding.

Features and Specifications

• Size: 80 x 130 mm (3-5/32 x 5-1/8 inch), narrow rectangular pad
• Hole pattern: perforated with 12 suction holes for dust extraction
• Hardness: soft, for consistent results over the whole surface
• Attachment: StickFix hook and loop face for quick abrasive changes and re-use of partly used sheets
• Fits: Festool RTS 400, RS 400 and RTSC 400
• Packaging: sold singly

Where It Fits

The Festool 489252 is the pad supplied with the RTS 400 REQ-Plus. Its soft face works especially well on even, flat surfaces and narrow workpieces: thin stock, edges, rails and stiles, door frames and face frames. The 12-hole pattern lines up with the sander so extraction stays strong and the tool runs cooler.

Who Uses It

Cabinet makers, furniture finishers, painters and renovation crews keep a spare pad on hand so a worn hook face never stops a job. A fresh pad is the quickest fix when sheets start to slip or wrinkle.

Tips for Long Pad Life

Check the hook and loop face before each job. When the StickFix hooks wear down, discs start to shift or fly off and the scratch pattern suffers. Brush dust off the pad, store it flat and away from heat, and never run the sander without an abrasive fitted, because the hook face wears quickly against the work.
