3M 7100017371 Buff Pad Adaptor 5/8 Inch Screw-on

Product Description

The 3M 7100017371 is a screw-on buff pad adaptor designed to connect compounding and polishing pads to rotary and dual-action polishers in collision repair and paint finishing applications. Featuring a 5/8 inch-11 thread size, this adaptor is rated for use up to 4500 RPM. It is intended for use with double-sided screw-on wool compounding and polishing pads and is a key component in a multi-part assembly that includes a backup pad. Licensed collision repair technicians and detailers install this part as a time-saving interface between the polisher spindle and the working pad.

This adaptor is suited for professional collision repair shops, paint refinishing environments, and detailing operations where frequent pad changes are required. It supports scratch refinement, compounding, and polishing workflows. When assembled with a compatible backup pad such as the 3M Perfect-It Backup Pad (PN 05718), it helps reduce vibration and protects the painted surface from direct contact with the polisher shaft. The assembly allows pad swaps without removing the adaptor from the polisher, reducing downtime during multi-stage paint correction jobs.
