3M Disc Pad Face Plate backs a same size fiber disc (sold separately) to provide firm support and the force required for grinding applications. It is used in conjunction with a disc pad hub (sold separately), which attaches to the power tool, and held into place along with the appropriate disc using a retainer nut (sold separately).

  • Designed for use with a 3M™ Disc Pad Hub
  • Various flexibilities support grinding applications ranging from lightweight to heavy-duty
  • Plate accommodates a fiber disc of equal diameter
  • Plate color indicates disc density for easy identification in the workroom

PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What is the material of 3M™ Disc Pad Face Plate Ribbed 81732?

    The Disc Pad Face Plate Ribbed 81732 is made out of extra hard plastic material to provide a rigid base that provides excellent support and retention.

  2. How many pieces are included in each case of this product?

    Each case contains ten (10) face plates making it perfect for heavy-duty applications or replacement parts for your sanding equipment.

  3. Is the pad ribbed?

    Yes, it is! The ribbing on the face plate helps distribute pressure evenly across the sanding disc's surface. It also ensures uniform abrasive wear and enhances heat dissipation to reduce worker fatigue during intense work sessions.

  4. What size discs can be used with these faceplates?

    The product measures 5 inches, which means you can use any five-inch diameter hook-and-loop style rotary sander discs that match up with Dust Control System (DCS) interface technology

Product Description: 3M™ Disc Pad Face Plate Assembly

The 3M™ Disc Pad Face Plate Assembly is a versatile tool that allows for easy changing of the face plate without removing the disc pad hub. This feature enables the operator to use a single tool for multiple applications, from heavy grinding to finishing a workpiece.

Some face plates come with ribbing on the bottom face, which provides additional force for optimal fracturing of the abrasive mineral. Ribbed face plates increase the grinding pressure of the abrasive with the same amount of operator effort by reducing the area of contact or pressure per square foot (PSI). This feature extends disc life when dulling is a problem.

It is important to choose a plate with the level of firmness needed for the application. A lighter density face plate is suitable for lighter weight grinding applications, while a harder density face plate is ideal for more heavyweight grinding applications. Using the correct face plate for the application ensures that the abrasive mineral will fracture as it should, maximizing the life of the abrasive.

The plate comes in one of four different colors that indicate the density, making it easy to identify the correct plate in the workroom. The colors are as follows: red = extra hard (for heavy grinding with the coarsest grades), black = hard (for heavy metal removal, large welds, etc.), gray = medium (for general purpose grinding and finishing), and white = soft (for finishing operations on flat or contoured surfaces).

  • Red = Extra Hard (for heavy grinding with the coarsest grades)
  • Black = Hard (for heavy metal removal, large welds, etc.)
  • Gray = Medium (for general purpose grinding and finishing)
  • White = Soft (for finishing operations on flat or contoured surfaces)
