3M 7010360340 Hook and Loop Disc Pad Holder 7in

Product Description

The 3M 7010360340 is a hook and loop disc pad holder designed to secure abrasive sanding discs to angle grinders and disc sanders during surface preparation work. The holder measures 7 inches in diameter with a 7/8 inch center post and features a 5/8-11 internal thread mount, which is the standard spindle thread found on most angle grinders used in metalworking, fabrication, and finishing applications. It accepts hook and loop backed abrasive discs, allowing for fast disc changes without adhesives. This pad holder is sold individually and is a common replacement or spare component for grinding setups across fabrication shops and job sites.

This pad holder suits residential and commercial finishing, welding prep, and general surface grinding tasks where hook and loop abrasive discs are the preferred consumable. It is commonly used by metalworkers, fabricators, and general contractors who require a reliable interface between their angle grinder and hook and loop discs. The 5/8-11 thread mount makes it broadly compatible with standard angle grinders used in trade and industrial settings.

Key Features

• 7 inch diameter pad holder sized for large-format hook and loop abrasive discs

• Hook and loop face allows tool-free disc swaps during operation cycles

Designed for use with 7 inch hook and loop backed abrasive discs on angle grinders equipped with a 5/8-11 threaded spindle. No specific model compatibility data was provided in the product input.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the 5/8-11 internal mount directly onto the grinder spindle — always power down and disconnect the grinder from its power source before mounting or removing the pad holder. Ensure the spindle threads are clean and undamaged before installation. Do not overtighten; hand-tight plus a firm seat is sufficient for most spindle connections. Follow the grinder manufacturer's guidelines and applicable ANSI safety standards for abrasive wheel accessories.
