Festool 490160 – IP-STF-80x133/12-LS130/2 Interface Pad

Description

Festool 490160 IP-STF-80×133/12-LS130/2 Interface Pad

The Festool 490160 is the IP-STF-80×133/12-STF LS130/2, a soft foam interface pad that fits between the sander backing pad and the abrasive. The extra give lets the abrasive follow curves, profiles and delicate contours instead of cutting flat, and it acts as a damping element between pad and abrasive.

Features and Specifications

• Type: soft foam interface pad
• Size: 80 x 133 mm (3-5/32 x 5-1/4 inch), narrow rectangular format
• Hole pattern: 12 holes for dust extraction
• Attachment: StickFix on both faces: it presses onto the pad and the abrasive presses onto it
• Fits: the Festool LS 130 linear sander (LS130 in the item name)
• Packaging: 2 per pack

Where It Fits

The narrow rectangular format suits thin stock, edges and frame components. Fit the Festool 490160 to the sander pad, then press the 80 x 133 mm abrasive onto it. StickFix lets you re-use partly worn sheets, so you can switch between a hard pad and the interface pad without wasting abrasive.

Who Uses It

Window and door makers, stair builders, furniture shops and restoration crews use a linear sander with an interface pad on profiles, beads, grooves and moulded frames. The cushion helps the sheet wrap gently over the profile so detail is not flattened.

Tips for Best Results

Line up the holes of the interface pad with the sander pad so extraction stays strong. An interface pad softens the cut, so it works best with medium and fine grits for finishing rather than heavy stock removal. Keep pressure light so the foam is not crushed flat, and replace the interface pad when its hook face stops holding discs firmly or the foam starts to tear.
