3M 7000045265 File Belt Sander Platen Pad Material

Product Description

The 3M 7000045265 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, allowing consistent contact pressure across the workpiece. The pad measures 0.75 inches wide by 7 inches long by 0.125 inches thick and is sold individually. The soft durometer construction conforms slightly to irregular surfaces, making it well suited for contour and finish work in fabrication, metalworking, and maintenance environments. Installers and technicians working with narrow-belt file sanders rely on this pad to maintain belt tracking and prevent premature belt wear.

This platen pad material is compatible with file belt sanders that accept 5/8-inch or 0.75-inch wide abrasive belts. It is used in industrial, fabrication, and MRO applications where precise material removal, deburring, or surface blending is required in tight or narrow workspaces. The 7-inch length fits standard file belt sander attachment arm configurations. It is a direct replacement pad material for worn or damaged platen surfaces on compatible tool setups.
