Pro-source 5590012510PRO Hook Loop Backing Pad 2 in

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 5590012510PRO is a 2-inch diameter hook and loop disc backing pad designed for use with rotary and random-orbit abrasive discs in surface finishing applications. The pad accepts a 1/4-inch shank, making it compatible with standard pneumatic and electric die grinders. It is rated to 15,000 RPM, supporting the high-speed operation common in metal fabrication, bodywork, and finishing trades. The hook and loop attachment system allows for fast disc changes without adhesives or tools, reducing downtime during production or service work. Weighing 1 pound, this is a compact, lightweight pad suited for extended use in tight spaces.

This backing pad is used in metalworking, automotive body repair, woodworking, and general surface preparation where small-diameter abrasive discs are required. It is well suited for use in confined areas where larger backing pads cannot reach. Typical installers include sheet metal workers, auto body technicians, maintenance mechanics, and finish carpenters who rely on die grinders for detail sanding, blending, and stock removal tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified technicians familiar with rotary abrasive tooling. Before mounting or removing the pad, disconnect or power down the grinder and confirm it has come to a complete stop. Thread the shank fully into the grinder collet and tighten securely per the tool manufacturer's instructions. Do not exceed the 15,000 RPM maximum speed rating of the pad or the abrasive disc in use.
