3M 7010326835 Disc Pad Face Plate Ribbed 4 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7010326835 is a ribbed disc pad face plate designed for use with 4-inch fiber disc grinding and finishing setups. The ribbed surface geometry reduces heat buildup by limiting the total contact area between the face plate and the disc, which helps extend disc life in applications where rapid dulling is a common problem. Higher localized pressure on the ribbed sections keeps the abrasive cutting more aggressively for longer. This face plate is rated extra hard and is identified by its red color. It is installed by abrasive tool technicians and surface preparation tradespeople working on metal, concrete, or composite substrates.

This face plate is suited for use in angle grinder applications where 4-inch diameter fiber discs are the primary abrasive media. It is specifically designed for use with 4-inch diameter by 7/8-inch arbor fiber discs or 4-inch TN fiber discs. It also requires a 2-1/2-inch disc pad hub for proper mounting. Typical applications include weld blending, surface conditioning, and material removal in fabrication shops, construction sites, and industrial maintenance environments.

• Ribbed face plate design reduces operating temperature for cooler disc performance
• Higher pressure on ribbed sections extends disc life where dulling is a concern
• Extra hard durometer rating provides firm backing for aggressive stock removal
• Red color coding identifies extra hard grade at a glance
• Compatible with 4-inch diameter by 7/8-inch arbor and 4-inch TN fiber discs
• Requires 2-1/2-inch disc pad hub for mounting

Compatibility

Designed for use with 4-inch diameter by 7/8-inch arbor fiber discs and 4-inch TN fiber discs. Requires a 2-1/2-inch disc pad hub. No additional compatible model numbers were specified in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed with the angle grinder fully disconnected from power. Verify the disc pad hub is properly threaded and seated before attaching the face plate and abrasive disc. Follow the tool manufacturer torque guidance for hub and accessory installation. Always confirm the maximum RPM rating of the disc matches or exceeds the grinder speed before operation.
