Description

The MERIT ABRASIVES 08834164004 is a Quick-Change Type P disc backing pad designed to hold quick-change abrasive discs during grinding, blending, and finishing operations. It accepts a 0.25-inch shank and is rated for a maximum of 30,000 RPM, making it suitable for use with standard die grinders and rotary tools. The medium-density construction provides consistent support across the disc face, helping maintain even contact with the workpiece surface. This pad is intended for use by metal fabricators, machinists, and maintenance technicians who require a reliable interface between their rotary tool and quick-change abrasive discs.

This backing pad is suited for light to medium material removal, deburring, surface blending, and finishing tasks in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments. It is commonly paired with quick-change abrasive discs in applications involving metal, composites, and other hard materials. The Power-Lock Type 1 quick-change compatibility makes disc swaps fast without additional tools, reducing downtime during multi-step surface preparation work.
