Designed primarily for sanding flat wall and ceiling surfaces, it combines a durable pad construction with a high-temperature-resistant hook-and-loop fastening layer for demanding professional use. The StickFix surface holds compatible PLANEX abrasive discs securely while still allowing quick abrasive changes between grit grades. Its integrated extraction openings work together with the PLANEX dust-extraction system to remove sanding dust through the abrasive and pad, helping maintain sanding performance while reducing airborne dust. With its 215 mm pad diameter, the ST-STF-D215\/8-LHS 225-HT supports the 225 mm abrasive system used on the original PLANEX and is particularly well suited to drywall, plaster, filler and renovation applications where a firm, dependable pad is preferred for broad, level surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eThe robust PLANEX pad for flat surfaces\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eFestool designed this HT version for universal use on level surfaces and for demanding working conditions.

The ST-STF-D215\/8-LHS 225-HT is the robust choice for broad, flat areas. Festool also produced alternative PLANEX pad arrangements with interface cushioning for applications requiring greater conformity on curved or irregular surfaces. Selecting the pad to suit the surface helps produce a more consistent finish and reduces unnecessary wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eThe sanding pad is part of the extraction system\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe backing pad does more than hold the abrasive. Its extraction openings form part of the airflow path between the sanding surface and the dust extractor. Correctly matching the holes in the abrasive to the pad helps remove dust where it is generated, improving visibility, reducing abrasive loading and supporting a cleaner working environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- Pro Tip --\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"tip-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003ch4\u003ePro Tips\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n  \u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eReplace the sanding pad if the hook-and-loop face no longer holds abrasive discs securely.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eInspect the pad regularly for cracking, distortion, excessive wear or separation of its layers.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eCentre the abrasive accurately so the extraction holes remain aligned with the sanding pad.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eKeep the StickFix surface clean.
