3M 7000045264 File Belt Sander Platen Pad Material

Product Description

The 3M 7000045264 is a soft platen pad material designed for use with file belt sander attachment arms. It provides a backing surface that supports abrasive belts during sanding operations, helping maintain consistent belt contact and control across the workpiece. Measuring 0.5 inches wide, 7 inches long, and 0.125 inches thick, this soft-grade pad material is suited for contouring and finishing work where a compliant backing is needed. Machinists, fabricators, and metalworking technicians install this pad to keep abrasive belts seated properly on the platen arm during narrow-profile sanding tasks.

This platen pad material is used in file belt sander applications where a 0.5 inch wide abrasive belt is required. It is appropriate for bench-top and handheld file belt sander setups used in deburring, weld blending, and surface finishing on metal, wood, and similar materials. The soft grade makes it well-suited for work on curved or irregular surfaces where rigid backing would cause uneven contact or belt tracking issues.
