3M Xtract™ Hookit™ Back-up Pads hold a 3M Xtract™ Hookit™ Disc (sold separately) for applications that require conformability and edge flexibility. 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. 3M Xtract™ Hookit™ Back-up Pads have a tapered edge ideal for feather-edging or blending a painted area to match the rest of the workpiece.The medium density foam provides some conformability for latter stages of surface sanding, and the 3M Hookit Attachment Style adds the ease of a hook-and-loop attachment for easy changes and reuse, helping optimize disc life. When used with a vacuum and a 3M Xtract 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 help prevent loading, increase productivity, and provide a cleaner work environment. The disc pad has external threads compatible with an orbital or random orbital sander. 3M Xtract Brand 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 isnt loading the cutting surface of the abrasives. Reducing dust is easier 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). 3M Xtract Brand proprietary multi-hole pattern on 3M Xtract Products removes dust at a higher rate than 5- or 6-hole products. This hole design doesn't require alignment of holes with the 3M Xtract Hookit 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.
