Quick-Change Backup Pad
The 3M 45099 is a round rubber backup pad built for quick-change disc sanders. A 1/4 in.-20 threaded hole secures it to the tool, and the TR quick-change system lets operators swap abrasives without extra hardware. Medium-density rubber supports the disc evenly during high-speed finishing work.
Best for right-angle finish sanding
Technicians who need rapid disc changes on a 1-1/2 in. pad will benefit from the TR interface and non-vacuum face. Shops that rely on vacuum-assisted dust extraction or require a larger diameter for broad surface prep should consider a different pad style.
30,000 RPM maximum operating speed
The pad is rated for 30,000 RPM, so the sander must not exceed this limit. Running the tool faster risks pad failure and unsafe disc ejection, making the speed rating the single specification that determines whether the 45099 matches the application.
