3M 7100041340 Hookit Disc Pad 6 Inch 5/16-24 External

Product Description

The 3M 7100041340 is a Hookit disc pad designed for use with 6-inch diameter Hookit hook-and-loop sanding discs on random orbital sanders. The pad features a resilient backing plate assembly combined with a medium-density foam layer, providing consistent disc support and durability through repeated use cycles. The external 5/16-24 thread mount connects securely to compatible orbital sander spindles. At 0.37 pounds, the pad adds minimal weight to the tool, reducing operator fatigue during extended sanding sessions. This pad is a direct interface component between the sander and the abrasive disc, making proper selection critical to finish quality and disc longevity.

This disc pad is suited for surface preparation, finishing, and material removal applications where 6-inch Hookit discs are the standard choice. Typical applications include bodywork, woodworking, composite fabrication, and general industrial sanding. The medium-density foam backing allows some conformability to curved or contoured surfaces while maintaining enough rigidity for flat-panel work. It is sold individually and is intended for professional trades and production environments where sanding equipment is maintained and consumable pads are replaced on a scheduled basis.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with random orbital sanders equipped with a 5/16-24 internal thread spindle and compatible with 6-inch diameter Hookit hook-and-loop abrasive discs.

Installation Notes

Thread the pad onto the sander spindle by hand until firmly seated before operating. Power down and disconnect the sander from any power source before installing or removing the disc pad. Inspect the pad surface regularly for foam compression, delamination, or thread wear, and replace the pad when any of these conditions are present to avoid inconsistent sanding results or disc detachment.
