Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834164003 is a quick-change disc backing pad designed to hold and drive abrasive discs in power tool applications. It features a 0.25 inch shank for direct chuck mounting and is rated to a maximum of 30,000 RPM, making it suitable for high-speed rotary tools and die grinders. The medium-density backing construction provides consistent support across the disc face, helping maintain even contact pressure during grinding, blending, or finishing passes. This backing pad is used by metalworking fabricators, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who work with quick-change abrasive systems.

This backing pad is intended for use with quick-change abrasive discs in Power-Lock Type 1 compatible systems. It fits standard 0.25 inch shank collets found on die grinders and rotary tools used in fabrication, weld blending, and surface preparation. Applications include metal deburring, surface conditioning, and prep work prior to coating or inspection. It is sold individually and suited for both shop and field use where a compact, high-RPM abrasive setup is needed.
