Bosch 2 608 601 713 angle grinder accessory Backing pad

The Bosch 2 608 601 713 Backing pad is designed for use with X-LOCK angle grinders and intended primarily for rough grit sanding (P50 and rougher). With a diameter of 115 mm, an angled surface for an ergonomic grinding position, and construction from fibreglass-reinforced thermostable plastic, the backing pad provides heat resistance and reduced risk of breakage while ensuring a secure fit for sanding and polishing discs.

Advantages

The angled surface enables a comfortable working position when sanding aggressive grit sizes. Thermostable, fibreglass-reinforced plastic resists high temperatures and mechanical stresses, increasing service life under heavy use. The X-LOCK keyless interface allows quick and tool-free changing of backing pads, simplifying workflow on the jobsite.

Suitable for

• Sanding with rough abrasives (P50 and rougher)

Recommendations

For safe and long-lasting performance, use the backing pad only with Bosch X-LOCK angle grinders and sanding discs rated for rough grit. Avoid excessive side loads and prolonged high-speed operation without cooling intervals. Inspect the pad before each use for cracks or damage and replace if any defects are found.
