Dynabrade 56197 Disc Backing Pad Hook Loop 13000 Rpm

Product Description

The DYNABRADE 56197 is a soft-density disc backing pad designed for hook and loop abrasive attachment on random orbital sanders. It accepts a 5/16-24 male threaded mount, allowing direct installation onto compatible sander spindles. Rated to 13,000 RPM, this backing pad supports high-speed finishing, sanding, and surface preparation work across metal fabrication, bodywork, and woodworking applications. The soft density construction conforms to contoured surfaces, helping abrasives maintain consistent contact across irregular workpieces. Weighing 1 pound, it is a direct replacement-style component installed and serviced by metalworkers, auto body technicians, and finishing trades professionals.

This backing pad is intended for use with random orbital sanders that accept a 5/16-24 threaded spindle connection. The threaded mount design provides a secure, tool-free abrasive change when paired with hook and loop discs. Typical install scenarios include production sanding environments, auto body repair shops, and general fabrication settings where consistent surface finish is required. The soft density is best suited for applications that require conformance to curved or shaped surfaces rather than flat stock removal.

Key Features

• Hook and loop face for fast abrasive disc changes without adhesives
• 5/16-24 male threaded mount for secure spindle attachment
• 13,000 RPM maximum speed rating for high-speed orbital sanding

Compatibility

Designed for use with random orbital sanders accepting a 5/16-24 threaded spindle. Compatible with standard hook and loop abrasive discs of the appropriate diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the pad onto the sander spindle by hand and securing snugly — do not overtighten. Power down and disconnect the tool from its air supply or electrical source before removing or installing the backing pad. Verify that the abrasive disc diameter and hook and loop face size match the backing pad before operation. Inspect the pad for wear, delamination, or damage prior to each use and replace if any defects are found.
