Built on a Type R quick-change platform with Power-Lock Type 3 compatibility, it accepts a 0.25-inch shank and is rated to a maximum of 30,000 RPM. The hard-density backing pad provides a firm, stable support surface, which helps maintain consistent abrasive contact and controlled material removal. This pad is installed by metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working with die grinders and similar rotary tools in both shop and field environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis backing pad suits surface preparation, weld blending, deburring, and finishing tasks where quick disc changes are required to maintain workflow efficiency.
