3M 7100273463 | 89410 Xtract 5" Diameter Back-up Pad

Description

The 3M 7100273463 is a 5-inch Xtract back-up pad specially made for high-efficiency dust removal and consistent abrasive performance. This back-up pad, which is designed to work with net discs and discs with a clean sanding-hole pattern, allows for up to 97% dust extraction when used with a compatible vacuum system. Its medium-density foam provides precise conformability for surface sanding, while the tapered edge provides the flexibility required for feather-edging and seamless blending. The Hookit hook-and-loop face fastens 5-inch sanding pads quickly and repeatedly, extending abrasive life and simplifying disc changes. External threads allow direct mounting to many orbital and random orbital sanders, making this pad a practical replacement for worn 3M backing pads. Suitable for finishers and refinishing technicians who prioritise extraction, repeatability and easy disc handling in production or repair workflows.

Product Features and Benefits

Maximum dust extraction

Multi-hole pattern is optimised for central or self-generated vacuum systems and supports up to 97% dust extraction, reducing airborne particles and improving abrasive efficiency.

Medium-density foam support

The 3M 89410 Xtract Back-up Pad has medium density, allowing for controlled conformability to minor contours while maintaining stable disc contact for a uniform surface finish and repeatable material removal.

Tapered edge for feather-edging

The tapered perimeter of the 3M backing pad increases edge flexibility, allowing for feather-edging and blending painted areas without leaving visible feather lines or low spots.

Hookit attachment for fast disc changes

3M Hookit hook-and-loop backing secures sanding pads firmly while enabling quick, tool-free replacement to keep operators productive.

Threaded compatibility with orbital sanders

The 3M Xtract backup pad is an external threaded design that fits common orbital/random orbital sanders with matching internal threads, making it simple to install as a backup pad for sander replacements.
