Abstract

A sanding, buffing and polishing tool per the invention includes a pad affording means for the mount of an abrasively surfaced device utilizing a hook and loop type fastener structure or its equivalent for their interconnection. The pad in its preferred embodiment comprises a front face and a rear face with the major portion of the front face being essentially planar in configuration and the plane thereof perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the pad. Said major portion of the front face is inset or recessed relative an annular portion thereof which is defined by the projected extremity of a relatively narrow cylindrical wall structure which is generally perpendicular to the plane of said major portion and defines therewith a shallow cavity. The hook portion of the hook and loop fastener is securely fixed over and coextensively with said major portion of the front face of the pad to nest essentially within the limits of said cavity and the axial extent of said cylindrical wall structure. The annular and the said major portion of the front face are in substantially parallel planes. A drive shaft connected to define the axis of rotation of said pad has one end portion thereof lodged and anchored within the body of said pad, short of its front face thereof and its opposite end portion projected from the rear face of the pad.
