3M 7000148244 Disc Pad Face Plate Ribbed 9 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000148244 is a ribbed disc pad face plate designed to reduce heat buildup during grinding and finishing operations. The ribbed surface geometry allows air to circulate between the pad and the disc, resulting in a cooler running disc and extended abrasive life. Constructed in a hard black formulation, this face plate is sized for 9-inch diameter fibre discs with a 7/8-inch arbor hole. It is compatible with standard disc pad hubs and is intended for use by metalworking professionals, fabricators, and grinding technicians in production and maintenance environments.

This face plate is used in angle grinder and disc grinder setups where 9-inch fibre discs are the abrasive of choice. It accepts a 4-1/2-inch disc pad hub or a 2-1/2-inch hub, offering flexibility in tool configuration depending on the application. Typical use cases include weld blending, surface preparation, and stock removal on metal workpieces in fabrication shops and industrial maintenance settings.
