{"product_id":"pro-graad-5-x-5-8-11-ribbed-rubber-backing-pad-for-resin-fiber-discs","title":"Pro-Graad 5” x 5\/8”-11 Ribbed Rubber Backing Pad for Resin Fiber Discs","description":"The Pro-Graad 5\" x 5\/8\"-11 Rubber Backing Pad runs resin fiber discs on 5\" angle grinders and sanders. It's a direct replacement for a worn, cracked, or warped pad. The pad's condition decides how evenly the disc cuts and how long it lasts.  The ribbed face is what sets it apart from a flat pad. Raised ribs leave air channels behind the disc that carry heat away from the fiber backing during long grinding passes. A cooler disc holds its grain longer and is less likely to glaze, so each disc lasts longer.  The body is medium durometer rubber with steel reinforcement. It puts even pressure across the disc for flat grinding and weld removal, and it flexes enough to follow contours for blending and edge work. The reinforcement keeps the pad true under load and at speed.  The 5\/8\"-11 locking nut threads onto the spindle and clamps the disc flat for a secure mount. Before ordering, confirm your spindle is 5\/8\"-11. Many 5\" grinders use M14 spindles, and this pad won't fit them.  The pad is rated to a maximum of 11,000 RPM. Check the speed ratings on your tool and discs, and never exceed the lowest of the three.  Use it for weld grinding, deburring, rust and scale removal, paint stripping, and surface prep on steel, stainless, and aluminum in fabrication, auto body, and maintenance work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[IN THE BOX]:  1 each Pro-Graad 5” x 5\/8”-11 Ribbed Rubber Backing Pad for Resin Fiber Discs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e[RIBBED FACE RUNS COOLER]: Raised ribs leave air channels behind the disc and pull heat out of the fiber backing on long grinding passes.
