Norton 66261047581 Disc Backing Pad Quick-change Type R

Product Description

The NORTON 66261047581 is a Quick-Change Type R disc backing pad designed to hold abrasive discs securely during grinding, blending, and surface preparation tasks. It features a 1/4-inch shank diameter for compatibility with standard rotary tools, die grinders, and drill chucks. Rated to a maximum of 12,000 RPM, this backing pad is built for demanding material removal applications. The medium-density construction balances conformability and support, allowing the mounted abrasive disc to maintain consistent contact across flat and mildly contoured surfaces. It uses Speed-Lok TR quick-change compatibility, enabling fast disc swaps without additional tooling. Fabricators, metalworkers, and maintenance technicians typically install and operate this type of pad.

This backing pad is suited for use in industrial maintenance, fabrication shops, and general metalworking environments where quick-change abrasive systems are in use. The Speed-Lok TR interface streamlines disc changes during continuous production work or field repair tasks. It is appropriate for use on metal, composites, and similar hard substrates. Applications include weld blending, deburring, rust removal, and surface conditioning. Both shop-based tradespeople and field maintenance crews working with rotary abrasive equipment will find this pad a standard-fit component in quick-change disc setups.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation of this backing pad should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with rotary abrasive equipment and applicable workplace safety standards. Always ensure the tool is powered off and disconnected from its power source before mounting or removing the backing pad or abrasive disc. Verify that the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 12,000 RPM maximum rating of this pad. Inspect the pad and mounted disc for damage before each use, and confirm the disc is fully seated in the Speed-Lok TR interface prior to operation.
