The Proxxon K 1000 flexible sanding pads are built for the final stages of surface finishing — where you need an abrasive that conforms to uneven, curved, or complex surfaces without leaving flat spots or pressure marks. The foam body flexes to match the workpiece, the silicon carbide abrasive cuts cleanly at 1000 grit, and the net-structure backing prevents clogging from fine dust — keeping the pad cutting efficiently throughout its life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrit:\u003c\/strong\u003e K 1000 (ultra-fine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ø 50mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasive:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silicon carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Net structure — prevents dust clogging for extended pad life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Foam — conforms to uneven and contoured surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttachment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-adhesive (PSA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 pads per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart No.:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28672\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBest Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmart-repair finishing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Final sanding on automotive and surface repair work where surface conformity is critical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3D printed parts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoothing layer lines and surface artifacts on FDM and resin prints without damaging fine detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFine finishing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-polish surface prep on metal, plastic, and composite materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContoured surfaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e Any workpiece where a rigid pad would leave uneven contact or pressure marks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat tools are these compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese 50mm self-adhesive pads are designed for use with Proxxon tools that accept 50mm PSA sanding discs.
