3M 7100001985 | 02700 Hookit 3" Diameter x 5/16-24 EXT Thread x 1/2" Thickness x 1-3/4" OAL x 4" Width Disc Pad

Description

The 3M 7100001985 02700 Hookit Disc Pad is a 3" backup pad designed to keep Hookit sanding discs and Finesse-It buffing pads securely in place on handheld rotary, orbital, and random orbital tools. The molded backing employs J-type hooks to grip brushed nylon loop backings, allowing for repeatable, contamination-resistant engagement without adhesive. A 45° tapered edge provides measured flexibility for feather-edging and easier blending at workpiece edges, while a firm density ensures flat contact and consistent finish results. The threaded 5/16-24 external mounting allows for quick, secure attachment to industry-standard mandrels and right-angle grinders. This 3M Disc Pad Holder with 5/16-24 thread is ideal for shop environments that require frequent disc changes and reuse, reducing downtime and extending abrasive life. When combined with compatible coated abrasives or buffing pads, it is ideal for finishing, blending, and removing intermediate stock. The pad's molded construction resists debris buildup, resulting in a longer service life and consistent performance across multiple operations.

Product Features and Benefits

Positive Hook & Loop Retention

J-style hook grip and Hookit loop backings keep abrasives secure throughout the cut. This hook and loop sanding pad design allows for multiple disc reuses, which improves material utilization.

45° Tapered Edge for Feather-Edging

The 3M Hookit Pad has tapered geometry that allows for controlled flexibility at edges, allowing operators to blend and feather without creating hard transition lines. The shape allows for easier access to contours while still providing support underneath the disc.

Threaded 5/16-24 External Mount

The 3M 02700 Hookit Disc Pad's standard 5/16-24 EXT threading allows for quick and dependable attachment to compatible sanders and mandrels. The threaded design simplifies disc changes while keeping the abrasive concentric for smoother finishes.

Firm, Molded Back-Up Construction

Firm density backing provides stable contact to minimize bounce and prevent tooling impressions on coated abrasives. The molded form resists deformation under load for repeatable results.

Contamination-Resistant System

This hook-and-loop sanding pad features a Hookit attachment, which prevents adhesive contamination and debris accumulation common with stick-on pads. The Hookit backing pad in 3-inch size is ideal for dusty environments and production use.
