Benchmark Abrasives 5" x 5/8"-11 padded hook & loop backing pad is designed for 5" angle grinders and provides the support needed to run compatible 5" hook-and-loop abrasives. The padded construction adds cushioning behind the abrasive to help maintain controlled surface contact, making it well suited for cleaning, blending, surface preparation, and finish refinement on flat, curved, and contoured workpieces.
The 5/8"-11 internal thread mounts directly to a compatible 5" angle grinder spindle, while the hook-and-loop face allows fast abrasive changes without adhesive or separate disc-retaining hardware. Pair it with Benchmark Abrasives 5" Hook & Loop Surface Conditioning Discs for a convenient grinder-based surface conditioning system.
Sanding and polishing with compatible hook-and-loop abrasives
Performance
The molded urethane construction provides firm support behind the abrasive, while the integrated foam layer adds cushioning to help the disc maintain controlled contact with the workpiece. This combination provides the support needed for grinder-based surface conditioning while allowing the abrasive to conform more readily than it would against a completely rigid backing surface.
The hook-and-loop face also makes abrasive changes fast and simple, allowing worn discs or different surface conditioning grades to be swapped without adhesive or tools.
Machine Compatibility
Designed for compatible 5" angle grinders with a 5/8"-11 external spindle.
The backing pad is rated to a maximum of 12,200 RPM. Always confirm that the grinder is approved for 5" accessories and that the complete backing pad and abrasive assembly is operated within the rating of the lowest-rated component.
When paired with Benchmark Abrasives 5" Hook & Loop Surface Conditioning Discs, the discs are rated to a maximum of 12,000 RPM, so the complete assembly must not exceed 12,000 RPM.
Safety Tips
Never exceed the backing pad's 12,200 RPM maximum speed.
When used with Benchmark Abrasives 5" Hook & Loop Surface Conditioning Discs, do not exceed the disc's lower 12,000 RPM maximum.
Verify proper 5/8"-11 thread engagement before operating the grinder.
Make sure the entire abrasive disc is securely attached to the hook-and-loop face before starting the tool.
Inspect the backing pad for cracks, deformation, damaged hooks, or excessive wear before use.
Confirm that the grinder is approved for 5" accessories.
