Disc Backup Pads

Norton Abrasives triangular Speed-Lok backup pads are designed for grinding, sanding, surface preparation and polishing applications. They are compatible with brand's AVOS fiber discs & Bear-Tex nonwoven discs and feature fiberglass-reinforced, plastic construction for resistance to chemicals, impact & water, thereby ensuring durability. These pads support discs to evenly distribute grinding pressures to the workpieces and feature see-thru design offering interrupted cuts to minimise the applied heat up to 30% over standard discs. The configured scooped holes enable air flow to pull swarf away from operational zones for extended life and can be used at 5 to 15 degrees angle for gouging-free & full utilisation of the discs. Choose from a broad range of these backup pads, available in 4.5 and 5 inch diameters.
