3M Disc Pad Face Plate Ribbed 80514, 7 in Extra Hard Red, 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 a retainer nut (sold separately).

This assembly allows 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 foot (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 Ribbed 80514 is designed specifically for use with a 3M Disc Pad Hub. This ensures compatibility and reliable performance when paired with the right tools. The model 80514 is a trusted choice for professionals who need consistent results.

Using the exact 3M model 80514 means you get a product engineered to fit perfectly with 3M systems. This face plate supports fiber discs of equal diameter, making it easy to swap discs without hassle.

Extra Hard Red Grade

This face plate comes in an extra hard red grade, ideal for heavy grinding tasks. The red color signals the plate’s firmness, helping users quickly identify it among other plates in the workroom.

Extra hard plates like this one are perfect for coarse grinding jobs where maximum force is needed. The red 7-inch plate supports tough applications, extending abrasive life by applying the right pressure.

Seven Inch Diameter

The 7-inch diameter size of this face plate matches common fiber discs, providing a firm backing for grinding. This size is versatile enough for many grinding and finishing applications.

With a 7-inch face plate, operators can handle a range of tasks from heavy-duty grinding to finishing workpieces. The size ensures good coverage and control during use.

Ribbed Design Benefits

The ribbed bottom face of this plate increases grinding pressure without extra effort. By reducing the contact area, it boosts the force applied to the abrasive mineral, improving grinding efficiency.

This ribbed design helps fracture abrasive minerals optimally and extends disc life when dulling is an issue. It’s especially useful in heavy grinding where extra force is needed.

Case Of Ten Pack

This product comes as a case of 10 face plates, providing good value and convenience for frequent users. Having multiple plates on hand means less downtime switching between jobs.

Buying in a pack of 10 ensures you’re stocked for ongoing projects. It’s ideal for workshops or professionals who need reliable supplies of the 3M Disc Pad Face Plate Ribbed 80514.
