Discs - Fiber - Back-up Pads

Norton manufactures an assortment of back-up pads specifically designed to maximize the performance effectiveness of Norton fiber discs. Air-cooled rubber back-up pads are designed for medium- to heavy-duty fiber disc grinding applications. The no-nose air-cooled back-up pads are designed for shorter-shaft right angle grinders. Speed-Lok back-up pads are available in both standard and AVOS configurations.

Air-Cooled Rubber Back-up Pads

Designed for medium- to heavy-grinding applications.
Slotted aluminum hub design draws cool air behind the disc. Curved ribs on the rubber face force heat away from the disc and back-up pad. Cooler cutting action reduces disc loading and increases grinding life.
All pads have a 5/8"-11 threaded female hub for mounting.
Firm pads provide more aggressive cut; medium pads offer greater flexibility.
Use with Norton and Merit fiber discs to maximize cut and life.

Air-Cooled Back-up Pads

For 5/8-11 arbor, these threaded “no nose” pads are designed for shorter-shafted right-angle grinders.

Speed-Lok Back-up Pads

Molded rubber back-up pads provide quick-change convenience.
Hard density pads are for aggressive cutting action.
Medium density pads are for all-purpose applications.
Soft density pads are used for contours and fine finishing work.
All pads have a 5/8"-11 threaded female hub. These pads can be adapted for use on conventional 7/8" center hole fiber discs by using a 66NS Retainer Nut to mount the disc to the Speed-Lok pad.
