Backing Pad Metabo 625658000 122 mm Medium Grit for Angle Grinders and Sanders

Metabo backing pad 122 mm medium grit is designed to provide stable support for sanding discs and abrasives on angle grinders and sanders. The 122 mm diameter offers a balance between coverage and control for general-purpose surface work, enabling consistent contact with the workpiece during sanding, finishing and light material removal tasks. The pad's medium-grit interface facilitates secure attachment of compatible sanding discs and helps reduce vibrations that can affect surface quality.

Advantages

The backing pad delivers even pressure distribution across the abrasive, which improves sanding uniformity and reduces the risk of localized gouging. It is compatible with a variety of abrasives made for angle grinders and sanders, allowing quick changes and stable mounting. The pad's medium-grit interface contributes to controlled material removal while preserving surface detail, and its construction supports steady handling during extended use.

Suitable for

• Sanding and smoothing painted or raw wood surfaces
• Removing rust, old coatings, and light corrosion from metal
• Surface preparation before painting or sealing
• Matting and finishing tasks on plastics and composites
• General-purpose abrasive work with angle grinders and sanders

Key specifications

• Diameter: 122 mm
• Interface grit: medium
• Designed use: attachment for sanding discs and abrasives on angle grinders and sanders
• Function: provides stable support and even pressure distribution during sanding
• Compatibility: suitable for general-purpose abrasive discs with matching attachment system

How to use

Ensure the tool is switched off and disconnected from power before fitting the backing pad. Mount the pad onto the grinder or sander spindle according to the machine manufacturer's instructions and confirm secure attachment. Fit a compatible sanding disc to the backing pad, then restore power and perform a short run-up at low speed to check for balance and secure fixing. Use steady, even strokes and moderate pressure during sanding; avoid excessive force that can accelerate wear on the pad and abrasive. After use, allow the pad to stop completely before disconnecting or removing abrasive discs.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match the backing pad to abrasives of appropriate diameter and fastening type, and select the medium abrasion interface when a balance of material removal and surface finish is required. Regularly inspect the pad for wear, deformation or damage and replace it if any compromise in flatness or attachment security is observed. Follow the angle grinder or sander safety guidelines, including using proper personal protective equipment and recommended rotational speeds.
