3M 7000118602 Disc Pad Holder 7x1 in 5/8-11 T-hook Black

Product Description

The 3M 7000118602 is a disc pad holder designed to back surface conditioning discs during grinding, blending, and finishing operations. The holder features a T-style hook face that secures compatible hook-and-loop discs firmly under load. Measuring 7 inches in diameter and 1 inch in thickness, with a 5/8-11 internal thread for direct spindle mounting, this holder is sized for angle grinders and right-angle tools used in metal fabrication, weld blending, and surface prep work. The black T-hook face construction is suited for more severe surface conditioning applications where disc retention and stability are critical.

This disc pad holder is used in metalworking and fabrication environments where surface conditioning discs are run on angle grinders or finishing tools. It is appropriate for both shop and field use across applications such as weld seam blending, deburring, and general surface preparation on metal substrates. Sold individually, it is commonly specified by fabricators, maintenance welders, and industrial technicians who require consistent disc backing in demanding conditions.

Key Features

• T-style hook face designed for secure engagement with surface conditioning discs in severe applications
• 7-inch diameter backing pad provides broad disc support during operation
• 5/8-11 internal thread mounts directly to standard angle grinder spindles
• 1-inch thickness keeps the pad profile low and stable under tool pressure
• Black construction indicates T-hook face configuration for quick identification
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed for use with 7-inch hook-and-loop surface conditioning discs. Compatible with angle grinders and finishing tools equipped with a standard 5/8-11 threaded spindle.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the 5/8-11 internal thread directly onto the grinder spindle — ensure the tool is fully powered off and unplugged or battery-removed before mounting or removing the pad holder. Hand-tighten until the holder seats flush against the spindle flange; do not use pipe wrenches or excessive force on the thread. Inspect the T-hook face for wear or damaged hooks before attaching a disc, and replace the holder if the hook face no longer retains the disc securely under load.
