Angle Disc Hook-and-Loop 125 mm M14, Irwin (nylon backing)

Irwin 125 mm angle disc with hook-and-loop fastening and M14 arbor thread is a backing pad designed for use with angle grinders. The nylon-backed pad accepts 125 mm hook-and-loop abrasive discs for sanding, polishing and surface preparation. It is intended for general workshop and construction tasks where a compact, quick-change attachment for abrasives is required. The product fits grinders with an M14 thread and supports controlled contact with wood, painted surfaces, fillers and light metal finishing jobs.

Advantages

The nylon backing provides a balance of firmness and flexibility to follow contours while maintaining even pressure across the abrasive disc. Hook-and-loop fastening allows fast and tool-free disc changes, reducing downtime. The 125 mm diameter offers good access to confined areas and edges, and the M14 thread ensures compatibility with a wide range of angle grinders commonly used in trade and DIY environments.

How to use

Mount the backing pad to the grinder spindle by screwing onto the M14 thread and ensure it is tightened securely according to the grinder manufacturer’s instructions. Select a 125 mm hook-and-loop abrasive disc and press it onto the nylon backing until it engages fully.

Replace worn abrasive discs quickly by peeling them off and affixing a fresh disc to the hook-and-loop surface.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, gloves and a dust mask. Match abrasive grit and type to the material and task for optimal results, and avoid excessive pressure or side loading to extend pad and disc life.
