6 in PSA Disc Backup Pad

This Ingersoll/Rand 49097-1 is a 6 in diameter foam backup pad for adhesive-backed abrasive discs. It mounts on a threaded 1/4 in.-11 shaft and is rated for 12,000 RPM maximum operating speed. The soft-density foam conforms to contoured surfaces during sanding tasks. No vacuum holes are present on the 3/8 in thick pad face.

Trade professionals and DIY users

Suits operators running right-angle or inline pneumatic sanders that accept a 1/4 in.-11 threaded shaft and need a 6 in non-vacuum pad for adhesive-backed discs. Not for tools with hook-and-loop platens, metric threads, 5 in or smaller pads, or dust-extraction hole patterns. Also unsuitable for rigid backing-plate applications.

1/4 in.-11 threaded shaft connector

The pad only fits sanders equipped with a matching 1/4 in.-11 male thread; any other shaft size or thread pitch will prevent installation. Verify the tool specification before purchase.

Questions about this item

How hot or loud does the 49097-1 get during extended sanding sessions?

The pad itself produces no noise or heat; those come from the air sander driving it at up to 12,000 RPM.

What tool and consumables must I already own to use this backup pad?

A pneumatic sander with a 1/4 in.-11 threaded spindle plus 6 in. adhesive-backed (PSA) abrasive discs.

Will this 6 in. pad fit the older 5 in. discs I still have in stock?

No — the pad diameter is 6 in., so only 6 in. PSA discs match the mounting surface.
