The CGW 49510 7" X 5/8"-11 Flexible Resin Fibre Disc Back-Up Pad is a back-up solution designed to support fibre discs during abrasive grinding operations. Sized for a 7 inch diameter disc with a 5/8-11 arbor, it threads onto compatible grinders to provide a stable, cushioned surface that helps maintain even contact across contoured workpieces.
Constructed as a flexible rubber back-up pad, it is intended for use with coarse grits to maximize abrasive performance while promoting disc life. The design features spiral ribs that create contact points and channels for air flow, which helps evacuate heat and debris. Larger air holes contribute to a cooler operating area, supporting longer disc life under demanding grinding conditions. Flexible pads are recommended for work with contours, while rigid pads may be better suited to aggressive grinding when a stiffer backing is beneficial.
In practice, this pad supports longer disc life by improving heat dissipation and reducing contact friction, making it suitable for grinding tasks on irregular or curved surfaces where maintaining consistent pressure is challenging. The component is packaged as a single piece per package, and its compatibility is defined by the 7" disc diameter and 5/8-11 arbor thread size. When selecting back-up pads, consider the grind aggressiveness and the need for contour conformity to determine whether a flexible pad or a rigid alternative best fits the application.
