The best pad hardness levels for sanding tasks vary by application. Use soft pads for contours and fine finishing, medium pads for general-purpose sanding, and hard pads for aggressive stock removal and flat surfaces. Matching pad hardness to task ensures control, surface quality, and efficiency. Medium hardness pads, like the Dynabrade 54334, offer versatility, while hard pads like the Gem Industries 515HDH are ideal for heavy material removal. A wide range of hardness levels is available, allowing for precise control over the sanding process.
