Drum Backer Plate | M10/M14 Thread | Hook & Loop Polishing Pad

This 7 inch hook and loop backing pad connects sanding discs to your tool. It's not a sanding drum for inside curves; it's a plate that holds flat discs. It gives you support and flexibility for polishing, sanding, and buffing large surfaces. Features and Benefits - Strong hook and loop face - Holds pads tightly at high speeds so they stay centered. - Semi-flexible polyurethane build - Bends enough to follow gentle curves on car panels or furniture without skipping. - Standard M14 thread - Attaches directly to most rotary polishers and angle grinders without an adapter. - Quick pad changes - The hook and loop system is much faster for swapping pads than sticky (PSA) types. Applications - Holding diamond polishing pads for finishing granite or concrete surfaces. - Attaching foam or wool buffing pads for car detailing and paint correction. - Using sandpaper discs for large-scale wood finishing or stripping old paint.
