3M Disc Pad Face Plate 45194, 7 in Soft White, Case of 10

• Designed for use with a 3M Disc Pad Hub
• Plate accommodates a fiber disc of equal diameter
• Plate color indicates disc density for easy identification in the workroom
• Various flexibilities support grinding applications ranging from lightweight to heavy-duty

3M Disc Pad Face Plate backs a same size fiber disc (sold separately) to provide firm support and the force required for grinding applications. It is used in conjunction with a disc pad hub (sold separately), which attaches to the power tool, and held into place along with the appropriate disc using either a retainer nut (sold separately).

This assembly allows the 3M Disc Pad Face Plate to be easily changed without removing the disc pad hub, allowing the operator to use a single tool for multiple applications from heavy grinding to finishing a workpiece.

Some face plates have ribbing on the bottom face. Ribbed face plates provide additional force when needed for optimal fracturing of the abrasive mineral. By reducing the area of contact, or pressure per square inch (PSI), ribbed face plates increase the grinding pressure of the abrasive with the same amount of operator effort, and extend disc life when dulling is a problem.

Choose a plate with the level of firmness needed for the application—a lighter density face plate for lighter weight grinding applications, and a harder density face plate for more heavyweight grinding applications. Using the correct face plate for the application ensures that the abrasive mineral will fracture as it should, maximizing the life of the abrasive. The plate comes in one of four different colors that indicate the density so the correct plate can be easily identified in the workroom: red = extra hard (for heavy grinding with the coarsest grades), black = hard (for heavy metal removal, large welds, etc.), gray = medium (for general purpose grinding and finishing), and white = soft (for finishing operations on flat or contoured surfaces).

Trusted 3M Disc Pad

The 3M Disc Pad Face Plate 45194 is designed specifically for use with a 3M Disc Pad Hub. This ensures compatibility and reliable performance when paired together. The brand 3M is known for quality abrasive products, making this face plate a dependable choice.

Using the exact model 45194 guarantees you get the right fit and function. This face plate supports grinding tasks efficiently when combined with the matching hub, providing a seamless system for your power tool setup.

Soft White Seven-Inch

This face plate comes in a soft white color, which indicates its density level. The 7 inch size matches fiber discs of the same diameter, making it suitable for finishing operations on flat or contoured surfaces.

The color coding helps you quickly identify the plate’s softness in the workroom. Soft white plates are ideal for lighter grinding tasks, ensuring the abrasive mineral fractures properly without damaging the workpiece.

Case Of Ten

Sold as a case of 10, this pack size offers convenience and value for frequent users. Having multiple face plates on hand allows you to switch quickly between tasks without downtime.

The case format supports efficient inventory management and ensures you always have the right plate ready. This is especially useful in busy workshops where multiple grinding jobs occur daily.

Disc Pad Face Plate

The face plate is designed to back a fiber disc of equal diameter, providing firm support during grinding. This backing helps maintain consistent pressure and improves the abrasive’s effectiveness.

It works with a retainer nut and disc pad hub (sold separately), allowing easy changes without removing the hub. This flexibility lets you use one tool for various grinding applications, from heavy grinding to finishing.

Supports Grinding Applications

Various flexibilities in the face plate support grinding applications ranging from lightweight to heavy-duty. Choosing the right firmness ensures optimal abrasive mineral fracturing and extends disc life.

The soft white plate is suited for finishing, while other colors indicate different densities for heavier tasks. This system helps you match the plate to your specific grinding needs for better results.
