SIA Sponge Flex Sanding Pads for Woodturning
SIA Sponge Flex Sanding Pads for woodturning are flexible, foam-backed abrasives designed for sanding curved, contoured, and irregular surfaces. Measuring 4-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, these sanding pads conform easily to bowls, platters, spindles, and other turned shapes where traditional sanding discs are less effective.
The extra-soft foam backing allows the pad to follow contours while maintaining even pressure, helping reduce flat spots and uneven sanding marks. These foam sanding pads for woodturning are ideal for hand sanding on or off the lathe and are especially effective during finish sanding stages.
Each pad features clear grit markings and color-coded foam, making grit selection quick and mistake-free while progressing through sanding sequences.

Ron Radtke –
I have been working with Vince for several years now and have had nothing but positive experiences.
In most cases he is able to answer the phone or will call back shortly to help with any question or to take an order.
Vince has always been right on with his advice and helped me thru all questions from sanding to wheels to sharpen my tools.
I highly recommend him and the products he offers.
