Norton 66261059310 Disc Backing Pad Hook Loop 5/8-11

Product Description

The NORTON 66261059310 is a hook and loop disc backing pad designed to mount abrasive discs on angle grinders and disc sanders for surface preparation, grinding, and finishing work. It accepts a 5/8-11 threaded spindle, the standard thread found on most right-angle grinders used in metal fabrication, woodworking, and construction trades. The pad is rated to a maximum of 10,000 RPM, making it suitable for high-speed applications where secure disc retention and consistent backing support are required. At 0.3 pounds, it adds minimal weight to the tool setup. The hook and loop fastening system allows fast disc changes without adhesives or backing paper.

This backing pad is used wherever hook and loop abrasive discs are specified — including weld blending, paint stripping, surface conditioning, and prep work ahead of coating or finishing. It is a common component in metal fabrication shops, general contracting, automotive bodywork, and facility maintenance applications. Trade professionals and experienced DIYers rely on this style of pad when frequent abrasive changes are part of the workflow.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tradespeople and experienced users familiar with angle grinder tooling. Always disconnect the grinder from its power source before threading on or removing the backing pad. Thread the pad onto the spindle by hand until snug, following the tool manufacturer's guidance on securing the pad against the spindle flange. Do not exceed the 10,000 RPM maximum speed rating when selecting a grinder or setting variable-speed controls.
