Merit Abrasives 08834164198 Quick-change Disc Backing Pad

Product Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834164198 is a Quick-Change Type S disc backing pad designed for use with rotary die grinders and pneumatic or electric angle grinders in metal fabrication, welding prep, and surface finishing applications. The pad measures 2 inches in diameter and accepts a 1/4-inch shank, spinning safely up to 30,000 RPM. Medium density construction provides consistent disc support across the working face. Licensed tradespeople and production grinder operators rely on this style of pad for fast disc swaps without tools.

This backing pad is suited for light to medium surface preparation tasks including weld blending, deburring, and finishing on metal workpieces. The Power-Lock holder compatibility makes it a standard fit in shops and field environments where Quick-Change Type S abrasive discs are already in rotation. It is commonly used in fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and pipefitting or ironworking applications where rapid abrasive changes reduce downtime.
