PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What size is the 3M™ Stikit™ Abrasive Disc Back-up Pad 05698, and what thread connection does it use?

    This back-up pad measures 8 inches in diameter and 1 inch in thickness. It features an M14-2.0 internal thread connection, which is a standard metric thread that works with compatible 3M sanders and tools.

  2. What is the blue color indicator on this back-up pad for?

    The blue color helps you quickly identify this as a 3M Stikit™ back-up pad and indicates its specific durability and performance characteristics. It's a visual way to ensure you're grabbing the right pad for your job.

  3. Can I use this back-up pad with different brands of sanders, or is it only for 3M tools?

    The M14-2.0 internal thread is a standard metric connection, so this pad can work with any compatible sander or tool that has a matching M14-2.0 male thread. It's not limited to 3M equipment only.

  4. What types of abrasive discs work with this back-up pad?

    This back-up pad is designed to work with 3M™ Stikit™ abrasive discs that are 8 inches in diameter. The pressure-sensitive adhesive on those discs bonds securely to the pad's surface for efficient sanding operations.

The Right Back-up Pads for You

The 3M Stikit Abrasive Disc Back-up Pads have been engineered to seamlessly integrate into your auto body shop operations, delivering immediate improvements in performance across multiple sanding tasks. These pads are specifically designed to accommodate rotational speeds ranging from 1,500 to 10,000 RPM, making them exceptionally versatile for diverse applications. Whether you need to shape plastic body filler, perform flat surface sanding, execute low-speed polishing or grinding operations, or tackle paint stripping and primer sanding on flexible surfaces, these pads deliver reliable results. The pads are manufactured in both medium and firm density options, each featuring a balanced construction that minimizes vibration and shock absorption during extended use. The resilient foam composition provides optimal support for abrasive discs, ensuring uniform pressure distribution and consistent contact throughout the sanding process.

Available with two edge configurations to suit different applications, the pads come with either 15-degree tapered edges for aggressive material removal on flat substrates, or 45-degree tapered edges for navigating curved and contoured surfaces with precision.

Fits a Variety of Sanders for a Variety of Jobs

The versatility of 3M Stikit Abrasive Disc Back-up Pads extends to their compatibility with numerous power sanding tools. The 15-degree tapered versions offer flexible mounting with either five or six-hole configurations, allowing them to work seamlessly with popular dual-action orbital and random orbital sanders from manufacturers such as National Detroit (Model 900), Chicago Pneumatic (Model 777), and Dynablade (Model 57700). For the 45-degree tapered edge pads, a center-mounted 5/8-inch hole with 5/16-24 external threads provides straightforward bolt-on installation, streamlining the setup process.

Stikit System Maximizes Shop Time

The innovative Stikit system was developed with shop efficiency as the primary objective. These disc pads work in conjunction with 3M Stikit Abrasive Discs, which feature a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing that allows for rapid, tool-free attachment. Discs can be applied by simply pressing them onto the pad surface, and when the time comes to switch grits or applications, they peel away cleanly without leaving adhesive residue. Available in both 6-inch and 8-inch diameter sizes, these back-up pads are engineered to maximize productivity by reducing downtime between job transitions.

Better Science for Better Sanding

Every component of the 3M Stikit Abrasive Disc Back-up Pad system reflects a commitment to advancing auto body shop efficiency and surface quality. The foam construction, edge taper configurations, and diverse mounting options collectively work to deliver superior sanding results across the wide spectrum of tasks commonly encountered in professional body shops. By combining durable pad construction with the convenient Stikit disc attachment system and broad equipment compatibility, these back-up pads represent a comprehensive solution that integrates effectively with existing shop equipment and workflows.
