3M 7100009657 Finishing Disc Pad 5 Inch 40 Holes

Product Description

The 3M 7100009657 is a low-profile finishing disc pad designed for clean sanding applications in finishing and surface preparation work. Built to accept 5-inch abrasive discs, this pad features a 5/16-24 external thread mount and a 40-hole pattern that allows dust and debris to pass through during sanding, helping maintain a cleaner work surface and extending abrasive life. It is sold in a case of 10 units. Woodworking shops, auto body technicians, and finish carpenters regularly use this type of pad with random orbital and disc sanders during final-stage surface prep.

This pad suits low-profile applications where clearance between the pad and workpiece is a factor. The 40-hole dust extraction pattern is compatible with sanders and dust collection systems designed for multi-hole disc configurations. At 5 inches in diameter with an 11/16-inch thickness and a 5/16-24 external thread interface, it fits sanders with that thread spec. Cases of 10 allow service professionals and shop operations to maintain an adequate supply on hand for continuous workflow without frequent reordering.

Key Features

• Low-profile design reduces pad height for improved clearance in tight finishing scenarios
• 40-hole pattern supports dust extraction during sanding for a cleaner work surface
• 5/16-24 external thread mount for secure attachment to compatible sander spindles
• 5-inch disc diameter fits standard random orbital and finishing sanders
• Sold in cases of 10 for shop and field supply continuity

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5-inch abrasive finishing discs featuring a 40-hole pattern on sanders equipped with a 5/16-24 external thread spindle connection. Refer to your sander manufacturer specifications to confirm thread and hole-pattern compatibility before use.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the pad onto the sander spindle by hand until snug — do not use tools to overtighten the thread connection. Disconnect or power down the sander completely before swapping pads or discs. Ensure the abrasive disc hole pattern aligns with the pad holes to maintain dust extraction performance.
