3M 7010362529 Disc Pad Face Plate Ribbed 5 in

Product Description

The 3M 7010362529 is a ribbed disc pad face plate designed to improve performance and extend disc life in grinding and finishing applications. The ribbed surface concentrates pressure on raised sections rather than across the full face, which reduces heat buildup and keeps the disc running cooler. This design is especially effective when disc dulling is a recurring problem. The face plate is rated extra hard and is identified by a red color code. It is packaged without skin cards to minimize unnecessary waste at the point of use. Installation is straightforward and the part is sold individually.

This face plate is intended for use with 5-inch diameter fibre discs with a 7/8-inch arbor hole, paired with a 2.5-inch disc pad hub. It is suited to trades and production environments where angle grinders or disc sanders are used for weld blending, surface preparation, or stock removal on metal. The ribbed geometry makes it a practical choice in applications where heat or premature disc wear is a known issue.

Installation Notes

This face plate is installed by a qualified operator or tool technician onto a compatible disc pad hub before mounting a fibre disc. Always power down and disconnect the grinder or sander from its power source before changing face plates or discs. Confirm the face plate is fully seated and secured on the hub before resuming operation. Follow applicable ANSI B11 or tool manufacturer safety guidelines for abrasive disc tool assembly.
