Festool SSH-STF-80x400/17 Soft StickFix Sanding Pad 80x400mm
At a Glance: Soft 80 x 400 mm Festool StickFix sanding pad with a 17-hole pattern, designed for the LRS 400 pneumatic linear sander and compatible HSK 80 x 400 and HSK 80 x 200 hand-sanding blocks.
Give your Festool sanding system the correct support surface with the Festool SSH-STF-80x400/17 sanding pad. This professional soft 80 x 400 mm sanding pad is designed for universal sanding applications where the abrasive needs controlled support while still being able to adapt slightly to the workpiece surface. It is the dedicated pad for the Festool LRS 400 pneumatic linear sander and is also compatible with the HSK 80 x 400 and HSK 80 x 200 hand-sanding blocks. The StickFix surface allows compatible abrasives to be pressed directly onto the pad and removed again quickly, making grit changes fast and uncomplicated. Its long rectangular format is particularly useful when sanding large flat surfaces, edges and elongated workpieces where consistent pressure distribution and controlled linear sanding are important. As a genuine Festool system accessory, the SSH-STF-80x400/17 is designed to match compatible Festool abrasives and sanding equipment for an efficient, neatly integrated sanding setup.
The SSH-STF-80x400/17 combines a soft pad characteristic with Festool's StickFix hook-and-loop abrasive attachment system. The softer support allows a degree of adaptation to the surface while still maintaining the broad 80 x 400 mm contact area required for controlled sanding. Compatible StickFix abrasive sheets can be changed quickly without clamps or separate adhesive, making it easy to move through different grit stages during surface preparation and finishing.

What does SSH-STF mean?
Within Festool's sanding accessory nomenclature, SSH identifies the sanding pad while STF denotes the StickFix abrasive attachment system. StickFix uses a hook-and-loop surface so compatible abrasive sheets can be attached securely and removed quickly whenever the abrasive is worn or a different grit is required.
Why use a soft sanding pad?
A soft sanding pad provides more compliance than a rigid backing surface. This makes it useful for universal sanding work where the pad needs to support the abrasive evenly while accommodating small variations in the workpiece surface. The correct pad hardness can have a noticeable effect on sanding behaviour and final surface quality.
Why the 80 x 400 mm format?
The long rectangular format provides a large contact area and is especially useful for sanding broad, flat and elongated workpieces. When used with the LRS 400, the pad supports the linear sanding action across a substantial area, helping produce efficient and controlled surface preparation.
What is StickFix?
StickFix is Festool's hook-and-loop abrasive attachment system. Compatible abrasive sheets are pressed directly onto the sanding pad, where they remain securely attached during use. When the abrasive becomes worn or another grit is required, the sheet can simply be peeled away and replaced without clamps or separate adhesive.
What does /17 mean?
The /17 forms part of the Festool pad designation and identifies the corresponding perforated pad pattern. When selecting abrasives, use the correct Festool 80 x 400 mm abrasive format so the sheet, pad and extraction pattern align as intended.
Machine and hand-sanding compatibility
Although primarily associated with the Festool LRS 400 pneumatic linear sander, Festool also specifies the SSH-STF-80x400/17 for the HSK 80 x 400 and HSK 80 x 200 hand-sanding blocks. This allows the same sanding-pad system to support both powered and controlled manual sanding applications.
Pro Tips
- Always match the abrasive dimensions and hole pattern to the SSH-STF-80x400/17 pad for correct fit and effective dust extraction where applicable.
- Press the abrasive evenly across the full StickFix surface instead of attaching only one end first and stretching the sheet into position.
- Keep the StickFix surface clean and free of sanding debris to maintain strong abrasive retention.
- Use progressively finer abrasive grits rather than making excessively large grit jumps when preparing surfaces for a fine finish.
- Allow the abrasive to perform the cutting instead of using excessive pressure, which can increase heat and accelerate pad and abrasive wear.
- Inspect the pad regularly for damaged edges, compressed areas or worn StickFix hooks and replace it when it can no longer support the abrasive evenly.
- When hand sanding, keep the pad flat and use long, controlled strokes to minimise uneven material removal.
How to Use
- Confirm that the sanding tool or hand block is compatible with the SSH-STF-80x400/17 sanding pad.
- Disconnect the LRS 400 from its compressed-air supply before fitting, inspecting or replacing the sanding pad.
- Install the sanding pad correctly onto the compatible machine or hand-sanding block according to the Festool operating instructions.
- Check that the pad is securely mounted and that its StickFix surface is clean and undamaged.
- Select the appropriate compatible 80 x 400 mm StickFix abrasive for the material and required sanding stage.
- Align the abrasive sheet accurately with the pad and corresponding perforation pattern.
- Press the abrasive firmly and evenly across the complete StickFix surface.
- When power sanding, connect the appropriate extraction system where applicable and operate the sander according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Guide the tool evenly across the workpiece without applying excessive pressure.
- After sanding, remove the worn abrasive carefully and clean loose dust from the pad before attaching the next sheet.
Safety
Safety
- Disconnect the LRS 400 from its compressed-air supply before fitting, removing or inspecting the sanding pad.
- Ensure the sanding pad is correctly and securely mounted before operating the machine.
- Use only correctly sized and suitable abrasive sheets intended for the pad and application.
- Do not operate the sander with a damaged, excessively worn or insecure sanding pad.
- Wear appropriate eye, hearing and respiratory protection according to the material being sanded.
- Use suitable dust extraction wherever applicable and observe the safety requirements for the material or coating being processed.
- Replace the pad if the StickFix surface can no longer retain the abrasive securely.
- Follow all operating and safety instructions supplied with the Festool LRS 400, hand-sanding equipment and abrasives being used.
