Quick-Change Backup Pad
The 3M 45096 is a 2-inch round backup pad built for quick-change abrasive discs. It uses a TR threaded-hole mount with a 1/4-20 connector to attach directly to compatible sanders. The hard-density rubber body is rated for 25,000 RPM maximum operating speed. No vacuum holes are included.
High-Speed Sanding Applications
This pad suits operators running quick-change discs on right-angle or die grinders that accept a 1/4-20 threaded shaft. It is not for hook-and-loop or adhesive-backed abrasives. Buyers needing dust extraction should look at vacuum-ready alternatives. The non-vacuum design limits debris capture during extended use.
25,000 RPM Speed Rating
The 25,000 RPM maximum operating speed is the critical specification for tool compatibility. Exceeding this limit risks pad failure and operator injury. Verify the sander or grinder no-load speed before mounting. The hard rubber density maintains disc flatness at the rated velocity.

Questions about this item
What does 25000 RPM mean when the pad is on a sander?
It is the maximum safe spindle speed; running the tool faster risks pad failure and disc detachment.
How does the 1/4 In.-20 threaded hole limit disc choice?
Only quick-change discs with a matching TR-style 1/4-20 male thread will mount securely.
Will the 2 in diameter pad fit my right-angle die grinder?
The pad is 2 in round with a 1/4-20 threaded hole; it fits any grinder that accepts that thread and clears the 7 5/8 in length.
