Milwaukee Tool 48-80-6402 Interface Pad 3 Inch Hook Loop

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 48-80-6402 is a 3-inch foam interface pad designed to sit between a backing pad and hook-and-loop sanding discs, providing a conforming buffer layer that improves surface contact on contoured and irregular workpieces. Built with a bend-resistant foam construction, the pad absorbs flex without collapsing, helping maintain consistent abrasive pressure across the disc surface. It weighs approximately 0.08 pounds and is sized specifically for 3-inch diameter disc applications. Trades professionals and finish carpenters rely on interface pads like this to extend disc life and improve finishing results on wood, composite, and similar surfaces.

This interface pad is intended for use with 3-inch mesh sanding discs in wheel diameter ranges from 2 to 4 inches. It is suited for both shop and field use where surface conformability matters — such as when sanding curved moldings, irregular stock, or surfaces requiring a softer abrasive contact. The hook-and-loop mount type allows quick disc changes without tools, making it practical for production or repetitive finishing workflows. Licensed contractors and skilled tradespeople installing finish surfaces will find this pad useful wherever orbital or random-orbit sanders are used with smaller-diameter discs.

Key Features

• Bend-resistant foam construction maintains pad integrity through repeated flexing cycles
• 3-inch diameter sizing matches standard small-format hook-and-loop sanding disc systems
• Hook-and-loop mount type enables fast, tool-free disc swaps
• Foam material cushions abrasive contact for improved conformability on curved surfaces
• Compatible with 3-inch mesh sanding discs across a 2 to 4 inch wheel diameter range
• Lightweight design at approximately 0.08 pounds adds minimal mass to the sander assembly

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3-inch mesh sanding discs. Compatible with sanders and backing pads accepting 3-inch hook-and-loop discs within the 2 to 4 inch wheel diameter range.

Installation Notes

Interface pads are installed by tradespeople and finish professionals between the sander backing pad and the abrasive disc. Power down and unplug the sander completely before attaching or removing the interface pad. Press the hook-and-loop surfaces firmly together to ensure full engagement before operating the tool. Inspect the foam layer for tears or compression damage before each use and replace the pad if the foam no longer provides even support across the disc face.
