It's designed to enable efficient dust extraction when paired with other components of the 3MTM Dust Extraction System. This tool helps reduce operator exposure to dust and debris typically created during abrasive processes such as sanding or grinding.
-
How big is the back-up pad, and how many holes does it have?
The 3M Xtract™ Low Profile Back-up Pad measures approximately127 mm x9.52 mm x7.93 mm externally, an ideal size for various tasks.It includes44 totalholes across its surface area.
-

-
Is there anything special I should know about using this pad with my sander or grinder?
nytime you use tools that generate dust particles,you need air filtration devices which filter outthe air-borne particulates formed during your work process.The unique design of our backing pads addresses this very issue by allowing vacuumextractionchannelsbuilt intothe attachment mechanismto effectively suck up those unwanted materialsfrom under these specific typesof consumables manufactured exclusivelyby us.Here at 3Mwe offer complete systems incorporating machine/radial arm saws with cutting edge cartridge filtersand locking clamps holding on hinged covers!

Q:Is the red foam padding important to performance and durability?
A:The bright red color seen outside doesn't indicate anythingparticularregarding product operations itself—just makes it easily identifiable. However, the foam in itself has been carefully selected to be the right blend of density and firmness, so it's adequately durable for use with sanding/grinding disks.
3M™ Hookit™ Clean Sanding Low Profile Disc Pads are constructed from firm density foam with a 35-degree blunt tapered edge for added durability, making them ideal for aggressive flat sanding operations.
Science of Dust Management3M's proprietary multi-hole pattern works with a vacuum to help eliminate dust from the disc, workpiece, and air. The Hookit™ system makes disc changes quick and easy, enabling repeated use for the life of the disc, reducing material consumption and increasing parts per disc. The 3M™ Clean Sanding Disc Pad is designed so hole alignment is not required, making our system even simpler to use than a standard "dust free" systems.
The 3M Clean Sanding dust-management system features a proprietary multi-hole pattern that evacuates dust from the work surface better than 5- or 6-hole products. Reducing dust dramatically increases the cutting efficiency and life of the disc, which ultimately reduces operating costs.
Optimized with a self-generated-vacuum sanding tool fitted with a Clean Sanding filter bag (sold separately), Clean Sanding products allow the vacuum to suction dust from the air and off of the workpiece. This reduces loading of the disc and adds life to the abrasive. Additionally, reducing dust in the air improves working conditions. 3M Clean Sanding abrasives can be paired with Clean Sanding disc pads for use on a central-vacuum-ready sander.
Focus on the Task at Hand with Hookit™ AttachmentWhether your job requires a random orbital or rotary sander, buffer, grinder, drill, finishing sander or other power tool, 3M™ Hookit™ products allow you to focus more on the task and less on tooling. Hookit™ abrasive products with hook-and-loop backing are manufactured with loop material that mates to a backup pad, each sold separately, where tiny hooks firmly engage the loops. Attachment is quick, easy, and secure during use. Sanding, finishing, and surface conditioning products with the 3M™ Hookit™ attachment and removal system gives you an efficient way to work through multi-step finishing processes and can be used again and again for the life of the abrasive.
