Fein multimaster sanding shoe / pad ![]()
This is the factory replacement for the sanding pad on the Fein Multimaster Q Edition. For speed and efficiency of sanding, most users probably use the highest speed setting. And doing that will melt the edges of the pad and it's velcro surface. As good as this tool is, it certainly has its limitations, and this is one of them.
Fein's credibility at risk ![]()
It is difficult to comprehend Fein providing sanding pads and paper which are so useless. I have had the sandpaper/pads melt in sanding just a 3/4" X 2" area. Both the felt on the paper and the Velcro on the pad melted. I went through 20 sheets of paper to sand a close-quartered area. Whereas my B & D Megamouse did a 4-foot X 4-foot area with just one sheet. Both on the same project.
Fein H/L pad is a very poor product ![]()
As others have said here, these pads are P*ss poor. With all the negative reports, you'd think Fein would get a clue.
The sander itself is excellent and some of the other accessories are top notch. But I sure wish they would beef up this H/L pad
I'd like to know if other brands of pads are just as bad.
Fein velcro sanding pad - how to use this necessary evil ![]()
The velcro is the weak element of these pads. But of course it's the velcro that makes the pads, which are otherwise well made, so convenient. You can easily destroy one of these expensive things in minutes-- while thinking how cautious you're being. So resign yourself. There's a way to avoid it, but it takes care and control:
Let the tool and unworn sandpapers do the work. Do NOT bear down.
Avoid using the tips if you can use the edges, avoid using the edges if you can use the whole surface (This is obvious, but keep repeating it to yourself).
Invest in sandpapers of the graded grits that span the needs of your projects; in use, resist skipping grades; they exist for good reason.
Rotate the tips (and yep, the edges will follow) frequently, BEFORE they are worn. Heat build-up can damage the pad underneath long before the paper is done for. Rotating allows you to inspect the pad (and paper) while letting it cool some. If possible, use two different sides or edges by shifting your grip.
A note on the sandpaper: If you are sanding painted surfaces, especially at corners and joints, the paper will clog quickly, and more so if you are not using coarse enough grit; so, inspect several times per minute. Frequent use of a small wire brush can help unclog the paper. And repeat, "Rotate".
Tell yourself that despite the high cost of pads and sandpaper it's still worth it-- if you follow best practices -- in time saved, work reduced and results. improved.
