Sanding and polishing pads attach to oscillating tools to smooth, shape, and shine surfaces. They are commonly used for detail sanding and working in tight spaces. Backing pads hold replaceable sanding sheets or polishing pads. They have a connector for mounting to the oscillating tool. Sanding sheets are coated with abrasive grit for light material removal. They can be changed when they wear out or when a different grit is needed. Polishing pads are fabric or fiber discs that provide a light touch for cleaning and shining surfaces. They are sometimes used to apply polishing chemicals.
