Benchmark Abrasives 4-1/2" resin fiber disc backing pad provides the rigid support needed to run 4-1/2" resin fiber discs on a right-angle grinder. The thermoplastic construction helps transfer grinding pressure efficiently to the workpiece for controlled stock removal, weld grinding, beveling, deburring, and surface preparation.
Raised spiral ribs and ventilation holes help promote airflow behind the abrasive disc to manage heat during use. The pad features a 5/8"-11 threaded attachment for compatible angle grinders and includes a lock nut for securing standard 4-1/2" x 7/8" resin fiber discs.

Applications
Use with resin fiber discs for:
Stock removal
Weld removal and blending
Beveling and edge preparation
Deburring
Rust and corrosion removal
Paint and coating removal
Surface cleaning and preparation
Blending and smoothing
Backing Pad Performance
Pad Type: Rigid
Support: Firm
Best For: Aggressive grinding and stock removal
Compatible Discs: 4-1/2" x 7/8" Resin Fiber Discs
Tip: A rigid backing pad transfers more pressure directly to the abrasive, making it well suited to coarse grits and demanding grinding applications. Resin fiber discs should always be used with a compatible backing pad.
Safety Tips & Techniques
Inspect the backing pad, lock nut, abrasive disc, and grinder before use.
Do not use a backing pad that is cracked, warped, melted, or excessively worn.
Make sure the resin fiber disc sits flat and is properly secured before operation.
Never exceed the maximum RPM of the backing pad, abrasive disc, or grinder.
