{"product_id":"5-inch-disc-pad-face-plate-ribbed","title":"5 Inch Disc Pad Face Plate Ribbed","description":"Disc pad face plate backs a same size fiber disc (sold separately) to provide firm support and the force required for grinding applications. It is used in conjunction with a disc pad hub (sold separately), which attaches to the power tool, and held into place along with the appropriate disc using a retainer nut (sold separately). This assembly allows this pad to be easily changed without removing the disc pad hub, allowing the operator to use a single tool for multiple applications from heavy grinding to finishing a workpiece. Ribbed face plates provide additional force when needed for optimal fracturing of the abrasive mineral. By reducing the area of contact, or pressure per square foot (PSI), ribbed face plates increase the grinding pressure of the abrasive with the same amount of operator effort, and extend disc life when dulling is a problem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eFace plate ribbed disc pad designed for use with a 3M disc pad hub\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eVarious flexibilities support grinding applications ranging from lightweight to heavy-duty\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePlate accommodates a fiber disc of equal diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePlate color indicates disc density for easy identification in the workroom\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePlate color indicates disc density for easy identification in the workroom\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"3M","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48603110736029,"sku":"3M-81732","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/2889\/5645\/files\/3m_2017320_20disc_20pad_20face_20plate.jpg?v=1783364112","url":"https:\/\/weisserdistributing.shop\/products\/5-inch-disc-pad-face-plate-ribbed","provider":"Weisser Distributing Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
