No, this specific plate (981.500) is designed for the ER, BR, and RH series tools. Always check your tool model before purchase.
The hard density provides better leveling capabilities and more aggressive material removal compared to soft or interface-style pads.
Yes, the multihole design is specifically engineered to work with integrated dust extraction systems.
Replace the plate if the velcro layer is torn, if the edges are chipped, or if the plate no longer sits perfectly flat on the tool spindle.
This unit features an integrated M8 thread designed to screw directly onto the tool's output shaft.
Clean the velcro surface of the backing plate with a soft brush to remove dust buildup or replace the disc if the backing material is worn.
Check that the backing plate is centered correctly on the M8 spindle and ensure the plate itself is not chipped or deformed.
Ensure that the holes in the sanding disc are perfectly aligned with the multihole pattern on the backing plate.
To install, ensure the tool is disconnected from power or air supply. Align the M8 spindle with the center of the backing plate and rotate clockwise until hand-tight, then use the appropriate wrench to secure it according to your tool's manual. This plate is compatible with the Rupes ER, BR, and RH tool series. To care for your backing plate, avoid hitting the edges against sharp metal panel gaps, which can fray the velcro face. After use, use a soft brush or compressed air to remove sanding dust from the velcro surface to maintain strong disc adhesion for future sessions.
