3M 7100258730 | 88657 7" Diameter Back-up Pad Ribbed

Description

The 3M 7100258730 ribbed back up pad is an extra hard one piece pad made to maximize cutting performance when used with coarse fibre discs such as 3M Cubitron II. This 7" back up pad ribbed design increases unit pressure for improved fracturing of precision shaped grain and faster stock removal. The one-piece construction reduces lost parts and simplifies ordering, while the low-profile, threaded hub fits most pneumatic angle grinders and TN quick change systems. Specify part 88657 when you need a durable pad for heavy grinding, beveling welds, and demanding fabrication work.

Product Features and Benefits

Ribbed face increases unit pressure

Back up pad ribbed geometry concentrates force to optimize Cubitron II fibre disc fracturing and accelerate cut rate without changing disc selection.

Extra-hard density for heavy grinding

Stiff, extra-hard padding provides the rigidity needed for beveling and aggressive weld removal versus softer finishing pads.

One-piece design reduces lost parts

3m back up pads integrated construction removes the separate faceplate/hub assembly, lowering inventory complexity and on-site part loss.

Low-pro file, threaded attachment

88657 compact profile and standard threads secure the pad to angle grinders while fitting common guards and TN quick-change systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of a back up pad ribbed padding design?

Ribbed padding increases unit pressure and improves cutting efficiency when paired with coarse fibre discs.

Is this a 7-inch hook and loop back-up pad or threaded?

This model is a low-profile, threaded back-up pad intended for TN quick-change and standard threaded attachments.

Which abrasive works best with this pad for heavy grinding?

3M Cubitron II coarse fibre discs (e.g., 982CX Pro) are recommended to maximize cut rate and life.

Will the one-piece design help reduce lost parts on the job?

Yes, the single piece faceplate/hub reduces separate components, lowering the chance of parts being lost.
