Abstract
Example implementations relate to a sanding tool having an intermediate adapter pad. The sanding tool includes a rigid base plate configured for releasable attachment to a number of sanding handles. The sanding tool also includes an adapter pad that comprises: an upper portion configured to receive the rigid base plate, the upper portion including a perimeter portion that extends above an upper surface of the rigid base plate; and a lower surface configured for releasable attachment to a lower pad, wherein a lower surface of the lower pad is configured for releasable attachment to a working material. The perimeter portion includes a channel configured to receive a bristle ring.
Claims20
A hand sanding tool, comprising:
- a base plate configured for releasable attachment to a number of sanding handles;
- an adapter pad, comprising:
- an upper portion including a central portion configured to receive a lower surface of the base plate, and a perimeter portion that extends from the central portion to above an upper surface of the base plate;
- and
- a lower surface configured for attachment to a lower pad, wherein a lower surface of the lower pad is configured for attachment to a working material;
- and
- wherein the perimeter portion includes a channel configured to receive a bristle ring;
- and
- wherein a periphery of the base plate is in contact with the perimeter portion.
A hand sanding tool, comprising:
- a base plate configured for releasable attachment to a number of sanding handles;

- a base plate;
- a vacuum attachment handle releasably attached to the base plate;
- and
- an adapter pad, comprising:
- an upper portion including a central portion configured to receive the base plate, and a perimeter portion that extends from the central portion to above an upper surface of the base plate, and in contact with a periphery of the base plate;
- and
- a lower surface configured for attachment to a lower pad, wherein a lower surface of the lower pad is configured for attachment to a working material;
- and
- wherein the perimeter portion is configured for attachment to a bristle ring.
