Backing Pad 3M 09562 115 mm M14 Hook-and-Loop for Sanders

3M Backing Pad 09562 is a 115 mm hook-and-loop backing pad with an M14 threaded connection designed for use with compatible angle and orbital sanders. The backing pad secures abrasive discs quickly and reliably, allowing rapid disc changes and steady contact with the work surface. It is intended for general-purpose sanding and finishing tasks on wood, metal and composite materials, providing a balanced surface for even material removal and improved abrasive life.

Advantages

The hook-and-loop surface ensures fast and tool-free attachment and replacement of abrasive discs while maintaining firm retention during operation. The 115 mm diameter offers a practical balance between coverage and maneuverability for a range of sanding tasks. The M14 threaded connection provides broad compatibility with many common angle and orbital sanders. The backing pad is engineered to support consistent disc flatness and to help reduce vibration transfer for controlled sanding performance.

Suitable for

• General sanding and surface preparation on wood
• Paint and rust removal on metal
• Finishing and smoothing of composite panels
• Replacing abrasive discs quickly during staged sanding operations

Key specifications

• Diameter: 115 mm
• Attachment type: Hook-and-loop (Velcro-style)
• Thread connection: M14
• Compatibility: Designed for compatible angle and orbital sanders with M14 spindles
• Intended use: General-purpose sanding and finishing

How to use

Ensure the sander is switched off and disconnected from power before fitting the backing pad. Screw the backing pad onto the sander spindle with the M14 thread until secure, taking care not to overtighten. Align the abrasive disc on the hook-and-loop surface and press firmly to engage. Start sanding at low speed to confirm secure attachment, then proceed with the recommended speed and pressure for the material being worked. Replace worn discs as needed by peeling them off the pad and attaching fresh abrasives.

Usage recommendations

Use abrasive discs that match the 115 mm diameter and ensure the sander model supports an M14 thread. Inspect the pad regularly for wear or damage and replace if the hook-and-loop surface no longer holds discs securely. Follow the sander manufacturer’s safety instructions, including use of appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, dust masks and hearing protection.
