Bosch Professional Sander Base Plates at MyToolShed.co.uk
Bosch Professional sander base plates are replacement backing pads and swing plates that restore the contact surface between your sander and the abrasive. Whether a pad has worn smooth, lost its grip or you need a different firmness for the job, this category covers replacements for GEX random orbital sanders, PEX disc sanders and GSS orbital sanders.
Choose from hard, medium, soft and extra soft options in 125mm and 150mm sizes, plus a delta swing plate and a genuine backing pad for the GSS 280 A/AE. Each is made to suit specific Bosch sander models, so you can keep your tool performing as it should.
Bosch Professional Sander Base Plates Features and Benefits
- Varied pad firmness: Hard pads give firm, stable contact for flat surfaces such as paint, filler and plaster. Soft and extra soft pads conform to curves and contours, reducing the risk of digging in.
- Multihole perforation: EXPERT Multihole pads are designed for extraction through the abrasive disc, helping to clear dust from the surface, keep discs cleaner and reduce clogging.
- Model-specific fit: Pads made for GEX, PEX and GSS sanders sit correctly on the tool, helping to give consistent, even sanding.
- Universal options: The universal 125mm and 150mm EXPERT pads suit a wider selection of sanders, useful if you run more than one machine.
- Replaceable wear part: Fitting a fresh pad is a simple way to bring back grip and finish quality without replacing the whole sander.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose between hard, medium and soft sanding pads?
Match firmness to the surface. Hard pads suit flat areas where you want even pressure. Medium pads are a good all-rounder, while soft and extra soft pads follow curves and profiles more closely. Always check the pad is listed for your sander model or size.
When should I replace a sander base plate?
Replace it when the hook-and-loop surface no longer holds discs securely, when the pad is worn, damaged or uneven, or when you see swirl marks or poor dust extraction. A fresh pad often improves results straight away.
