3M 7100005497 Clean Sanding Soft Interface Disc Pad

Product Description

The 3M 7100005497 is a soft foam interface disc pad designed for use between a Clean Sanding Hookit Backup Pad and a sanding disc. Constructed from a soft, durable foam, it adds a conformable layer that helps the disc follow curved surfaces and work closer to edges. The pad measures 6 inches in diameter by 0.5 inches thick and features 52 through-holes that align with compatible dust-extraction backup pads. It weighs 0.05 pounds. HVAC fabricators, auto body technicians, and finish carpenters use this type of interface pad when working on contoured panels, body lines, or trim surfaces where a rigid backing pad would bridge gaps and leave uneven results.

This interface pad is suited for surface preparation and finish sanding tasks on contoured or curved workpieces. It is compatible with 6-inch Hookit Backup Pads in both vacuum and non-vacuum configurations. The 52-hole pattern supports full-face dust extraction when paired with a matching clean sanding disc and a dust-collection backup pad, keeping the work surface clear and reducing airborne particulate during sanding operations. It is sold individually and carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Soft, durable foam construction increases conformability over curved and contoured surfaces
• 6 inches in diameter by 0.5 inches thick for use with standard 6-inch Hookit systems
• 52-hole pattern aligns with clean sanding discs and backup pads for optimized dust extraction
• Compatible with both vacuum and non-vacuum Hookit disc configurations
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds, adding minimal mass to the sanding assembly

Compatibility

Designed for use with 6-inch 3M Clean Sanding Hookit Backup Pads and 3M Red Clean Sanding Discs featuring a 52-hole pattern, in both vacuum and non-vacuum configurations.

Installation Notes

Position the interface pad between the Hookit backup pad and the sanding disc, aligning the holes across all three layers before attaching the disc. Ensure the Hookit hook-and-loop surfaces are clean and free of debris so the pad seats securely. Inspect the foam layer periodically for compression or tearing, and replace it when conformability is reduced. Power down any random-orbital or dual-action sander before changing pads or interface discs.
