For use with 5 in Dia Hookit™ clean sanding discs or Hookit™ D/F discs. Use with random orbital sanders with 5/16-24 internal threads. Made with beige foam. New one piece threaded shank for low vibration and improved balance. The soft density foam on the 3M™ clean sanding low profile finishing disc pad provides additional conformability for final finishing applications where the workpiece has previously been leveled and refined using coarser grade abrasives on firm or medium backup pads. When used with a vacuum and a clean sanding abrasive disc, the series of uniquely designed holes and channels in the pad allows dust to be pulled through the holes and away from the sanding surface to prevent loading, increase productivity and provide a cleaner work environment. The 3M™ clean sanding dust management system evacuates dust from the work surface better than 5 or 6-hole products, which dramatically increases disc life and maximizes cut rate. Optimized with a self-generated vacuum sanding tool fitted with a clean sanding filter bag (sold separately) or a when used with a central vacuum system, the clean sanding system provides dust extraction from the air surrounding the tool, as well as directly from the work surface. This reduces loading of the disc and adds life to the abrasive.

3M Xtract™ Hookit™ Low Profile Finishing Back-up Pad is constructed of soft density foam with a 10 degree blunt tapered edge and is recommended for finishing applications on flat or contoured surfaces. Part of the 3M Xtract™ Series, designed for optimal dust removal, enabling a vacuum to extract dust off the workpiece to prolong disc life and enhance productivity. Use this disc pad with grades 220 and higher 3M Xtract™ Hookit™ Discs (sold separately). The soft density foam on the 3M Xtract™ Hookit™ Low Profile Finishing Back-up Pad provides additional conformability for final finishing applications where the workpiece has previously been leveled and refined using coarser grade abrasives on firm or medium back up pads. When used with a vacuum and a 3M Xtract(TM) abrasive disc, the series of uniquely designed holes and channels allows dust to be pulled through the holes and away from the sanding surface to prevent loading, increase productivity, and provide a cleaner work environment. The disc pad has external threads compatible with an orbital or random orbital sander. Our proprietary multi-hole pattern works with a vacuum to help eliminate dust from the disc, workpiece and air. Sandpaper discs cut better and last longer when dust isn’t loading the cutting surface of the abrasives. Reducing dust is easier than ever with 3M Xtract™ Discs, designed for optimal dust removal. For maximum dust extraction, use this disc with a 3M Xtract™ Hookit™ Back-up pad and a random orbital sander with vacuum (both sold separately). Our proprietary multi-hole pattern on 3M Xtract(TM) products removes dust at a higher rate than 5- or 6-hole products. This hole design doesn't even require alignment of holes with the back-up pad (which is attached to a random orbital sander and sold separately), making disc changes quick and simple. The 3M™ Hookit™ attachment system uses a hook and loop design that makes disc changes fast and easy. All of this adds up to improved productivity and reduced material consumption. Reducing dust dramatically increases the cutting efficiency and life of the disc, which ultimately reduces operating costs.
