Value Collection 8002UM Ribbed Disc Backing Pad 5/8-11 Thread

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 8002UM is a ribbed rubber disc backing pad designed to mount grinding and sanding discs on angle grinders and short spindle grinders. It uses a 5/8-11 threaded mount for secure attachment to standard grinder spindles. Rated to a maximum of 8,600 RPM, this backing pad is built for medium-grade abrasive applications where consistent disc support and vibration damping are needed. The ribbed rubber construction helps maintain disc contact across the work surface and reduces heat buildup during extended use. Fabricators, metalworkers, and trade professionals who run disc grinders regularly will find this a straightforward OEM-style replacement or spare.

This backing pad is suited for use with angle grinders and short spindle grinders in metal fabrication, weld prep, surface conditioning, and general material removal tasks. The threaded spindle connection is a widely used standard, making this pad compatible with a broad range of grinder platforms. It is appropriate for both shop and field use wherever a medium-density ribbed backing pad is required to support coated or non-woven abrasive discs.

Installation Notes

Disconnect and lock out the grinder from its power source before installing or removing the backing pad. Thread the pad onto the grinder spindle by hand until snug, then verify it is seated securely before mounting an abrasive disc. Do not exceed the 8,600 RPM maximum speed rating. Inspect the rubber backing pad for cracks, deformation, or wear before each use and replace if any damage is found.
