The 3M Disc Pad Face Plate Ribbed is engineered to provide the firm, stable support required for demanding grinding applications. Featuring an upgraded one-piece design, this disc pad helps reduce the risk of lost components in the shop while delivering consistent, reliable performance.

Ribbed across the entire face, this disc pad increases unit pressure during grinding. The added pressure helps optimize the fracturing of 3M Precision-Shaped Grain used in compatible fibre discs, resulting in improved cutting speed and extended abrasive life. With its extra-hard, stiff density, the ribbed face plate is ideal for heavy grinding tasks such as beveling and grinding large welds, where maximum support and performance are required.
