Airtact rubber palm pad

[Billzach]

I haven,t saw pictures of what others are doing to their rubber palm pads to match up to their palm, so after cutting one that works for me i thought i would see if others would post a picture of how they have designed their pad.. This design allows my hand, mind and graver to work together for a light touch for shading to heavy metal removal..Lets see some designs of other rubber palm pads..

Bill, I've been working on two pads. I'm doing comparisons trying to fit my big mitt and get the results that you have gotten. No cigar yet! Thanks for the post.

I tried shaving rubber off the tops of 3 different pads, it didn,t work for me.. By using this desgn i,m not aware i,m pushing on a pad.

Hi Bill.
Are the two screws left out of the handpiece when you are using it?
Or did they just happen to be out when you took the picture?
Doc Mark has done some interesting work with these palm pads if he wants to chime in on this subject.
Best, John.

Thanks for the answer, Bill.
I will experiment with that too.
