The ribbed surface geometry creates intermittent contact zones that reduce heat buildup during grinding, which extends disc life when glazing or premature dulling is a problem. Rated extra hard and color-coded red, this face plate delivers higher localized pressure on the ribbed sections to maintain cutting action on harder materials. It is installed by grinding professionals and metalworking trades as a backing component in abrasive disc setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis face plate is intended for use in metal fabrication, weld blending, and surface preparation applications where heat management and disc longevity are priorities. The ribbed design is particularly effective in production environments where discs dull quickly under sustained pressure. It pairs with a 2.5-inch disc pad hub and accepts 5-inch diameter fibre discs, making it a standard-format component in portable grinding systems used across fabrication shops and field metalwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRibbed face plate design reduces heat buildup for cooler disc operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigher pressure on ribbed sections prolongs fibre disc life when dulling is a concern\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra hard durometer rating (red) for aggressive material removal applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with 5-inch diameter fibre discs and 2.5-inch disc pad hubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight construction at 0.15 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 5-inch diameter x 7\/8-inch fibre discs and a 2.5-inch disc pad hub as specified by the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by grinding or fabrication technicians as part of a disc pad assembly. Power down and disconnect the grinder from its power source before mounting or removing the face plate. Ensure the face plate is fully seated and secured to the disc pad hub before operating the tool. Follow the tool manufacturer's guidelines and applicable ANSI abrasive safety standards during assembly and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisc Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Disc Arbor\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Hub Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Hard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.15 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00051144817320\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7000120517\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"3M","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346551931186,"sku":"7000120517","price":299.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310551892.jpg?v=1782083614","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/3m-7000120517-disc-pad-face-plate-ribbed-5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
