    No need to add a sanding sheet to your oscillating tool—these plates come with carbide abrasive already built in. Shaped for edges and corners, they’re often used in tight spaces. They work well for heavy material removal on small sanding jobs.
    Starlock Mount—Starlock-mount plates can be used with any Starlock-compatible oscillating tool. Their vacuum holes let sanding dust escape during material removal so it doesn’t build up on the abrasive surface.
    Open Mount—Open-mount plates have a universal mounting pattern for use with non-Starlock oscillating tools. Operate your oscillating tool at two-thirds its maximum speed when using one of these plates.
