Backing Pad Makita P-05913 180 mm M14 for angle grinders

Makita P-05913 backing pad is a 180 mm diameter accessory with an M14 thread designed for use with compatible angle grinders. It provides a stable, even mounting surface for sanding discs and polishing pads, helping to maintain consistent contact with the workpiece and improve control during abrasive and finishing operations. The pad's size and construction make it suitable for a range of surface preparation and finishing tasks on wood, metal and composite materials.

Advantages

The backing pad offers a firm, dimensionally stable platform that reduces vibration and helps distribute pressure evenly across sanding discs and polishing pads. Its standard M14 threaded connection ensures compatibility with many angle grinders that accept this thread type, enabling quick and secure attachment. The 180 mm diameter covers a larger working area, reducing the number of passes required and improving productivity while delivering a smoother finish. Constructed to withstand the loads encountered during sanding and polishing, the pad supports reliable, repeatable results.

Suitable for

• Hand sanding and polishing of wooden surfaces
• Metal surface preparation, rust and paint removal
• Applying and finishing filler or putty
• Polishing and buffing tasks with foam or wool pads
• Large-area abrasive work where a stable backing is required

Key specifications

• Diameter: 180 mm
• Thread type: M14 (female mounting for angle grinder spindle)
• Intended use: backing for sanding discs and polishing pads
• Compatible material: wood, metal, composites for sanding/polishing
• Mounting style: screw-on attachment to angle grinder spindle

How to use

Ensure the angle grinder is powered off and disconnected from its power source before fitting the backing pad. Screw the backing pad onto the grinder spindle by engaging the M14 thread, and tighten securely by hand or with the specified tool for your grinder model. Attach the appropriate sanding disc or polishing pad to the backing pad according to the pad manufacturer’s instructions, making sure it sits flat and centered. Operate the grinder at recommended speeds for the abrasive or polishing material in use, and apply even pressure while moving the tool across the surface to avoid overheating or gouging.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as eye protection, gloves and a dust mask when sanding or polishing. Select sanding discs or polishing pads sized to match the 180 mm backing surface and rated for the intended rotational speed. Inspect the backing pad and consumables before each use for signs of wear or damage; replace the pad if cracks, tears or deformations are present. For best results on delicate finishes, start with a lower grit abrasive and progress to finer grits, and use consistent, overlapping passes.
