Description
Overview:
This is a genuine Bosch sander plate (OEM No. 2608000168) for the Bosch GSS 280 A and GSS 280 AE orbital sanders. It replaces the original backing plate on half-sheet sanders to restore flatness, grip and support for clamped sanding sheets. Built from durable composite materials with a resilient contact surface, it helps deliver even pressure across the workpiece and maintains the designed orbit of the machine. The plate features a precise hole pattern to align with the sander's dust extraction system, helping to keep the surface clean while you work. A direct-fit replacement for worn or damaged plates, it is suitable for trade, workshop and DIY use where consistent, smooth finishes and reliable performance are required.
