3M 7100009701 Clean Sanding Interface Disc Pad 31 Holes

Product Description

The 3M 7100009701 is a foam interface disc pad designed for use between a sanding disc and a backup pad in clean sanding applications. Constructed of durable foam, it adds a conformable layer that allows the technician to tip the pad for edge cutting and work closer to surface edges without losing contact or control. The pad measures 5 inches in diameter by 1/2 inches thick with a 3/4-inch profile and features 31 through-holes that align with compatible 31-hole backup pads to maintain dust extraction performance throughout the sanding pass. It is sold individually and suited for body shop and finishing environments where dust management and edge access are critical.

This interface pad is used in automotive refinishing, woodworking finishing, and surface prep applications where a standard rigid backup pad cannot conform adequately to contoured or near-edge surfaces. The foam layer increases pad conformability on curved panels and tight transitions. When paired with a 31-hole clean sanding backup pad, the through-hole pattern stays aligned to support full airflow through the dust extraction system, reducing loading on the disc and keeping the work surface cleaner during operation.

Key Features

• Durable foam construction increases pad conformability on contoured and near-edge surfaces
• 31 through-holes align with compatible 31-hole backup pads for uninterrupted dust extraction
• Interface layer allows technician to tip the pad for edge cutting without losing surface contact
• Fits 5-inch clean sanding disc pad systems
• Sold individually (each)

Compatibility

Designed for use with the 5-inch 3M Hookit Yellow Clean Sanding Disc Pad with 31 holes. Compatible with 31-hole clean sanding disc systems requiring a foam interface layer.

Installation Notes

Install the interface pad between the backup pad and the sanding disc, ensuring the 31 holes are aligned across all three layers to maintain dust extraction airflow. Confirm the backup pad, interface pad, and sanding disc hole patterns are fully registered before operating the tool. Inspect the foam layer periodically for compression set or tearing and replace when conformability is reduced. Follow all tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable workplace safety requirements when operating random orbital or hook-and-loop sanders.
