Description
6 Inch 7-Hole Low Profile Backup Pad is a hook and loop vacuum sanding pad for random orbital sanders that use a 5/16-24 thread. This low profile backup pad gives finish crews a compact face for 6 inch discs, controlled vacuum pickup through a 7-hole pattern, and a published maximum speed of 12,000 RPM.
Low Profile Backup Pad Benefits
- Low-profile face helps keep the sanding disc stable on flatter work and tighter curves.
- 7-hole vacuum pattern supports dust extraction when paired with matching abrasive discs.
- Hook and loop face speeds disc changes during color transitions and grit changes.
- 5/16-24 mounting thread matches many common orbital sanders used in fabrication and refinishing.
- 12,000 RPM rating fits routine shop sanding without moving to a heavier, taller pad style.
The Chemical Concepts listing identifies this pad as a 6 inch hook and loop vacuum model with a 5/16-24 UNF thread. HUBCO’s random orbital backup pad catalog also lists part 2960061 as a vacuum 7-hole hook low-profile pad, which aligns with the current product naming and general use case for abrasive finishing work.
Common Applications
- General random orbital sanding on fabricated metal, composites, and coated surfaces.
- Dust-managed sanding with 6 inch vacuum discs in shop finishing areas.
- Replacing worn pads on orbital sanders used for prep, featheredge, and finish sanding.
- Keeping a low-profile option on hand for operators who want a flatter sanding feel.
