3M 7000046037 Disc Pad Holder 6 Inches 5/16-24

Product Description

The 3M 7000046037 is a disc pad holder designed for use with 6-inch diameter hook and loop abrasive discs on random orbital sanders. It features a 5/16-24 external thread for secure attachment to sanders with a 5/16-24 internal thread spindle. The holder includes 1/4-inch thick foam backing and T-hooks that interface with loop-type abrasive discs, providing a firm, balanced connection during sanding operations. This type of holder is a consumable interface component replaced by finishing technicians and trade professionals as part of routine abrasive tool maintenance.

This disc pad holder is suited for surface preparation, finishing, and material removal tasks in woodworking, metalworking, automotive body, and general fabrication environments. It is sized for 6-inch random orbital sander platforms and is sold individually, making it a straightforward replacement when the foam backing compresses or the hook-and-loop interface wears down over time.

Installation Notes
