Bosch 2 608 601 712 angle grinder accessory Backing pad

The Bosch 2 608 601 712 backing pad is designed for use with X-LOCK angle grinders and fits discs for medium grit sanding (P80). With an 11.5 cm diameter and reinforced thermostable plastic construction, the backing pad provides a secure connection to grinding and sanding discs while resisting heat and breakage during demanding use.

Advantages

Ribbed design increases contact pressure and promotes cooling airflow between the disc and the backing pad. Reinforced thermostable plastic improves resistance to high temperatures and reduces the risk of breakage. Compatible with X-LOCK systems for quick, tool-free disc changes and built to fit Bosch angle grinders.

Suitable for

• Medium grit sanding (P80) on metal and wood surfaces
• Surface preparation before painting or coating
• Removing rust, old paint, or scale from flat and slightly contoured surfaces
