3M 7100009657 | 20290 Xtract 5" Diameter x 5/16-24 EXT Thread x 11/16" Thickness x 9/16" OAL x 6" Width 44.0 Hole Back-up Pad

Description

The 3M 7100009657 Xtract Back-up Pad is a 5-inch soft-density foam disc pad made for high-performance finishing using the 3M Xtract Clean Sanding system. This 3M 20290 backup pad is made as a low-profile finishing pad with a 44-hole pattern that draws dust through the pad when used with a central vacuum, reducing abrasive loading and extending disc life. The Hookit attachment interface allows for quick, repeatable disc changes and stable concentric contact on both flat and contoured surfaces, resulting in consistent finish quality. The 3M Hookit Finishing Pad is designed to conform to complex geometries while still supporting fine-grade abrasives. It balances conformability with dust management to improve cycle time, reduce rework, and maintain a cleaner work environment in production and repair settings.

Product Features and Benefits

Xtract Multi-Hole Pattern For Superior Dust Extraction

The proprietary 44-hole layout channels dust from the work surface into a vacuum system, significantly reducing disc loading and improving abrasive life and cut-rate consistency.

Soft Density Foam For Finishing Conformity

The 3M Xtract Backup Pad's soft foam construction conforms to subtle contours and edges for uniform contact with fine abrasives, giving a consistent finish without inducing tooling marks.

5" Diameter, Low-Profile Design

The 3M 20290 Back-up Pad, 5" in diameter and with a reduced profile, provides better control and access to shallow contours, making the pad suitable for final finishing and polishing operations.

Hookit Attachment For Fast Disc Changes

The 3M Hookit Finishing Pad has an interface that secures sanding discs quickly and repeatedly, reducing downtime and ensuring concentric mounting for predictable performance.

Threaded 5/16-24 ext For Common Tool Fitment

5/16-24 external thread and robust construction permit secure mounting to compatible random orbital sanders and backing flanges used in professional workshops.

Designed For Use With Fine Grades And Clean Sanding discs

Engineered to work with 220-grit and finer 3M Xtract Hookit discs (sold separately) for final finishing and surface preparation prior to coating or inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this pad a soft-density foam pad for finishing?
