3M 7100258733 | 88656 5" Diameter Back-up Pad Ribbed

Description

The 3M 7100258733 is a ribbed 5" diameter backup pad made for heavy grinding and weld beveling applications requiring maximum unit pressure and pad stiffness. When used with 3M Cubitron II and other coarse fiber discs, the ribbed face increases local pressure, improving fracturing and cutting work. It is designed as a one-piece, extra-hard pad to reduce lost parts while providing repeatable contact under heavy loads. This 3M Back-up Pad Ribbed, which is threaded for secure attachment, accepts quick-change and standard threaded mounts commonly found in angle grinder setups. The 3M 88656 backup pad is used when coarse-grade fiber discs require a firm, low-profile support to maintain cut rate and abrasive life. The pad is a long-lasting addition to any angle grinder accessory set, making it ideal for weld grinding, beveling, and high-material removal tasks.

Product Features and Benefits

Ribbed face for increased unit pressure

The ribbed faceplate concentrates contact pressure to improve abrasive fracturing and cutting speed with the 3M fiber disc backing pad. This design increases effective cutting force without changing grit or disc type.

Extra-hard density for heavy grinding

The 3M Back-up Pad Ribbed Extra-hard construction provides the stiffness needed for coarse-grade operations such as weld grinding and beveling. It reduces pad deflection to keep the abrasive engaged under heavy loads.

One-piece, low-profile construction

A single-piece faceplate lowers the number of components to lose and simplifies ordering and inventory management. The low profile fits most tools and guards for safer tool integration.

Threaded attachment for secure mounting

The 3M backing pads have a standard threaded interface that enables quick, secure mounting to common angle grinders and pneumatic tools. The threaded design ensures consistent alignment and minimal runout for predictable cuts.

System compatibility for best performance

Recommended for use with 3M Cubitron II fiber discs and compatible Scotch-Brite products to maximize abrasive life and cut rate. Works as a rugged 5" diameter backup pad for many grinding workflows.
