Drift plates (drift plates) and disc washers - Milwaukee

Backing pads, disc holders and support pads for discs

Backing pads, disc holders and support pads are designed to provide secure mounting, stable guidance and proper support for grinding or polishing discs when working with angle grinders and other grinding tools. They are essential accessories, especially when using fibre discs, abrasive sheets, polishing discs and other tools that require firm and even support.

A properly selected backing pad improves grinding control, distributes pressure more evenly across the working surface and helps achieve a higher-quality finishing result. Support pads also contribute to more stable operation, better disc seating and may reduce the risk of damaging the workpiece surface.

These components are used for grinding metal, stainless steel, aluminum, welds, edges and flat surfaces. They are commonly applied in metalworking, fabrication, maintenance, installation and general workshop operations. When selecting a backing pad, it is important to consider the disc diameter, mounting type, pad hardness and compatibility with the tool being used.
