Norton 66261059356 Hook Loop Disc Backing Pad 18000 Rpm

Product Description

The NORTON 66261059356 is a hook and loop disc backing pad designed to secure abrasive sanding discs to angle grinders and die grinders during surface preparation and finishing work. The 1/4 inch shank allows direct mounting into standard tool chucks without adapters. Rated to 18,000 RPM, this backing pad handles high-speed applications without flexing or losing disc retention. Weighing 0.15 pounds, it adds minimal mass to the tool head, reducing fatigue during extended use. Metalworkers, fabricators, and finishing tradespeople rely on this type of pad for consistent disc centering and secure hook and loop engagement throughout a disc's service life.

This backing pad is suited for use with hook and loop abrasive discs in light to medium grinding, blending, and finishing applications. It is commonly installed on pneumatic and electric die grinders and angle grinders in fabrication shops, automotive body work, and general metal or composite surface preparation. The 1/4 inch shank fits the collet sizes most common on rotary die grinders found in production and field service environments.
