RUPES IBRID Nano 1.25" Sanding Backing Plate

IBRID Nano Sanding Backing Plate for Denibbing

The RUPES IBRID Nano sanding backing plate (part 997.001) is the 30 mm plate RUPES lists as the "sanding backing pad ø30" on the HR81M and HR81ML IBRID Nano. Its smooth face takes stick-on (adhesive) denibbing discs, and the HR81ML complete kit includes it together with 20 stick-on discs, ten each in P2000 and P3000. Mounting matches the Nano's other plates: drop it into the orbital or rotary functional unit, then thread the unit onto the shaft. Use it to level a dust nib, a run, or a speck of dirt in fresh clear before polishing the spot back to gloss.

SNS stocks RUPES MicroFinish denibbing discs for it in 32 mm (1.25"), P2000 and P3000, 100 to a pack and rated wet or dry. Once the defect is level, move to the IBRID Nano 1.25" velcro backing plate (995.001) and a hook-and-loop pad to polish out the sanding marks in the same functional unit. The rest of the RUPES IBRID Nano parts range covers the 2-inch plate, cup brushes, and spares.

What Makes it Great:

📌 Smooth Face for Stick-On Discs: Adhesive discs press flat across the whole face, so the abrasive cuts evenly instead of rocking on a hook layer.

🎯 Spot-Sized Sanding: At 30 mm, the disc stays on the nib and leaves the clear around it untouched, which means less area to polish back afterward.

🔩 Fits Every Nano Unit: It seats in the red, blue, or green functional unit, the same way the Nano's polishing plates do.

📦 The Kit's Own Sanding Plate: RUPES packs this exact 997.001 in the HR81ML complete kit, so a new one sands the same way the original did.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the IBRID Nano sanding and velcro plates?

Look at the face. This one is smooth so stick-on abrasive discs bond to it, while the 995.001 velcro plate carries hooks that grip polishing pads. Size and mounting are identical, so it is easy to keep both on hand.

What discs fit the IBRID Nano sanding plate?

Stick-on discs about 1.25 inches across, such as RUPES MicroFinish 32 mm discs or the 35 mm discs that come in the HR81ML kit. Press each disc flat before you start and peel it off once it loads up.

Is the IBRID Nano sanding plate OK for wet sanding?

Yes, with discs made for it: RUPES rates the MicroFinish discs for wet or dry use. Mist the spot lightly and keep water off the Nano itself, since it runs on a battery or a power supply.
