Abrasive Technology Flexfoam Backup Pad – 4 in., 5/8 in.-11 Female Thread
Abrasive Technology Flexfoam Backup Pad – 4 in., 5/8 in.-11 Female Thread
The Abrasive Technology Flexfoam Backup Pad is a 4 in. cushioned foam backing pad with a 5/8 in.-11 female threaded insert, for mounting hook-and-loop diamond discs on a threaded polisher or grinder.
Key Features
- 5/8 in.-11 female thread insert mounts directly on a standard threaded polisher or grinder shank
- Centerhole with male hook-and-loop face, mates to hook-and-loop-backed diamond discs such as the Abrasive Technology Genesis Diamond Disc
- Semi-rigid, cushioned Flexfoam construction allows full contact between the workpiece and the diamond disc, per manufacturer
Who Is This For?
Fabricators using threaded (5/8 in.-11) polishers who need a cushioned backing pad for hook-and-loop diamond discs.
What This Is Not For
Not compatible with Snail Lock quick-change hubs. For that mount, use the Abrasive Technology Snail Lock Backup Pad instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
What thread does this pad use?
A 5/8 in.-11 female threaded insert, mounted through the pad's centerhole.
How thick is the pad?
The manufacturer does not publish a thickness for the Flexfoam backup pad. (The 3/8 in. and 1/2 in. thickness figures belong to the Snail Lock backup pad, a different product.)
What kind of disc attaches to it?
Hook-and-loop-backed diamond discs, via the pad's male hook-and-loop centerhole face.
Is this compatible with a Snail Lock mount?
No. This pad mounts on a 5/8 in.-11 threaded shank; Snail Lock tools use a different quick-change taper and require the Abrasive Technology Snail Lock Backup Pad.
