3M 5 in Hard Disc Pad Face Plate 10 Pack

The 3M disc pad face plate securely supports a 5 inch fibre disc of equal diameter. It works with a 3M disc pad hub and retainer nut, both sold separately. The design allows the face plate to be changed without removing the hub so a single tool can handle multiple applications from heavy grinding to finishing. Hard density construction suits heavy metal removal and large welds.

Check tool compatibility and required accessories

Verify that your sander accepts a 5 inch face plate and that you have a compatible 3M disc pad hub and retainer nut for installation. Fibre discs matching the diameter are also sold separately and must be sourced for the intended abrasive grade. Ensure the hard density rating matches the aggressiveness required for your specific metal removal tasks.

Replaces worn face plates for sustained abrasive

This pack replaces damaged or worn face plates that no longer hold fibre discs securely. Using the correct face plate maximises the life of the abrasive and maintains consistent performance on heavy grinding jobs. The upgrade is worth it when existing plates cause disc slippage or uneven wear during demanding material removal.

Questions about this item

Does the 10-pack include the fiber discs, disc pad hub, or retainer nut needed to mount these face plates?

No. The pack contains only the 10 hard-density face plates. Fiber discs, a 3M disc pad hub, and a retainer nut are each sold separately and must be purchased to complete the assembly.

When should I choose the hard-density version instead of a softer face plate?

Choose the hard-density face plate for heavy metal removal, large welds, and aggressive grinding tasks where maximum abrasive life and stock removal are required.

How does the hard-density face plate affect abrasive life during heavy grinding?

The hard density provides firm backing that maximizes the life of the fiber disc during heavy metal removal and large weld grinding, reducing disc wear and maintaining consistent cutting performance.
