Dynabrade 56087 Disc Backing Pad Hook Loop Medium Grade

Product Description

The DYNABRADE 56087 is a threaded disc backing pad designed for hook and loop abrasive discs used in surface finishing and material removal applications. It features a 5/16-24 male thread mount and is rated to a maximum of 13,000 RPM, making it suitable for high-speed random orbital sanding operations. The medium-density construction provides consistent disc support across the pad face, helping maintain even abrasive contact during use. This backing pad serves as a replacement component installed by metal fabricators, auto body technicians, woodworkers, and general trade professionals performing grinding, sanding, or surface prep work.

The DYNABRADE 56087 is intended for use with random orbital sanders that accept a 5/16-24 threaded spindle connection. It is well suited for both shop and field environments where hook and loop disc changes need to be fast and repeatable. Typical applications include metal surface preparation, wood finishing, and paint or coating removal where a medium-grade backing pad provides the right balance of flexibility and support for the abrasive disc.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified technician or experienced operator. Before replacing the backing pad, ensure the sander is fully powered off and disconnected from its air supply or electrical source. Thread the pad onto the spindle by hand until snug, taking care not to cross-thread the 5/16-24 connection. Always verify the installed pad is rated at or above the tool maximum RPM before operation.
