RUPES RA75 Compatibility

The 990.003 backing pad is designed specifically for the RUPES RA75 3" Non-Vacuum Pneumatic Sander.

Note: Do not confuse the 990.003 with the similar RUPES 990.012 backing pad. The 990.003 is the solid non-vacuum pad for the RA75, while the 990.012 is a separate 3-hole backing pad designed for the RA75A.

SMSDistributors Expert Notes

The 990.003 is the correct genuine RUPES replacement backing pad for the non-vacuum RA75 sander.
The soft pad construction provides added flexibility for small panels, curved surfaces, and localized repair areas.
The 3" size is particularly useful for spot repair and detailed sanding where a full-size 5" or 6" sander would be difficult to control.
The grip backing makes abrasive changes quick and allows the pad to be used with a wide selection of compatible 3" hook-and-loop sanding discs.
RUPES RA75 owners should verify the backing pad part number before ordering, as the vacuum RA75A uses a different backing pad configuration.
