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 for releasable attachment to a suction ring, or a bristle ring, or both.
Claims20
A hand sanding tool adapter pad, comprising:
- an upper portion configured to receive a 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;
- and
- wherein the perimeter portion includes a channel configured for releasable attachment to a suction ring.
A hand sanding tool system, comprising:
- a base plate configured for releasable attachment to a number of sanding handles;
- wherein the hand sanding tool is configured for conversion between at least a first tool configuration that includes an adapter pad releasably attached to a bristle ring, and a second tool configuration that includes the adapter pad releasably attached to a suction ring, wherein the first tool configuration and the second tool configuration includes the base plate being coupled to the adapter pad, the adapter pad, comprising:
- an upper portion configured to receive the base plate,
- 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;
- wherein a perimeter portion of the upper portion of the adapter pad includes a groove configured to receive the bristle ring in the first configuration and to receive the suction ring in the second configuration.
A hand sanding tool, comprising:
- a rigid base plate;
- a vacuum attachment handle releasably attached to the rigid base plate;
- and
- an adapter pad, comprising:
- 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;
- and
- wherein the perimeter portion includes a circumferential groove configured for releasable attachment to a suction ring.
