3M 7000000490 Hookit Soft Interface Pad 3 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7000000490 is a soft foam interface pad designed for use between a standard Hookit Back-Up Pad and a sanding disc. It increases conformability, allowing the technician to follow surface contours and work closer to edges without the hard-pad effect. Constructed of durable closed-cell foam with 6 dust holes, it is compatible with both clean-sanding and non-dust-free disc systems. At 3 inches in diameter, it fits common Hookit back-up pad configurations used in automotive refinishing and surface prep work.

This interface pad is suited for body shop technicians, automotive painters, and surface prep specialists who need finer contour control during sanding operations. It is particularly useful on curved body panels, transitions, and areas near trim edges where a rigid pad would cause uneven material removal. The pad is sold individually and is intended for repeated use across multiple sanding sessions.

Key Features

• Soft durable foam construction increases pad conformability over curved surfaces
• 6 dust holes align with standard Hookit disc and pad dust extraction layouts
• 3-inch diameter fits standard 3-inch Hookit back-up pad systems
• Compatible with clean-sanding discs and non-dust-free disc types
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds for minimal added weight during extended use

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard Hookit Back-Up Pads as an intermediate interface layer between the pad and sanding disc. Intended for use with 3-inch Hookit-compatible sanding discs in clean-sanding and non-dust-free applications.

Installation Notes

This pad is installed between the Hookit back-up pad and the abrasive disc — no tools required for attachment. Ensure the dust holes on the interface pad, back-up pad, and disc are aligned before use to maintain proper dust extraction. Inspect the foam for tears or compression damage before each use. This accessory does not require power shutdown but should only be used on equipment that is fully stopped before disc or pad changes.
