What is the FEIN BACKING PLATE Ø 150 mm and why choose it
The FEIN BACKING PLATE Ø 150 mm is a professional-grade backing pad designed to support hook-and-loop (Velcro-type) sanding or polishing discs with a diameter of 150 mm. It is used on compatible FEIN machines and other polishers or grinders with a matching spindle thread, providing a stable and durable support surface for demanding sanding and polishing applications. Based on available public information for similar FEIN backing pads, this accessory typically offers perforations for dust extraction and an M14 internal thread, but these details may vary by exact model and are not fully verified.
If you need precise and confirmed technical data for a specific reference number, please refer to the official FEIN technical datasheet.
Main features
- Diameter 150 mm: Designed for standard 150 mm sanding and polishing discs, widely used in bodywork, metalwork and woodworking applications (universal size, information inferred and not model-verified).
- Hook-and-loop surface: The working face is typically equipped with a hook-and-loop (Velcro) system to allow quick disc changes and secure fastening during operation (feature based on similar FEIN backing pads, not specifically verified for this exact name).
- M14 internal thread (typical for FEIN polishing pads): Many FEIN 150 mm backing pads use an M14 connector to fit common rotary polishers and angle grinders, including selected FEIN models such as WPO polishing sets. This mounting specification for your exact product name is not fully verified and should be checked against the official datasheet.
- Perforated design for dust extraction (on many variants): Several FEIN 150 mm backing pads are manufactured with extraction holes, helping to reduce dust build-up and improve surface finish when used with compatible extractors and abrasive discs. The exact hole pattern for this product is not confirmed.
- Optimised support hardness: FEIN offers hard and elastic backing pads depending on the application (aggressive material removal vs. fine polishing). The hardness grade of this particular BACKING PLATE Ø 150 mm is not specified and should be verified before purchase.
- Compatible with FEIN accessories: Designed to work with FEIN sanding and polishing systems, ensuring reliable performance and fit when used with the appropriate FEIN machines (information inferred from typical FEIN accessory ranges, not specific-model verified).

- Boat and marine maintenance: When used on compatible FEIN polishers, it can be applied for gelcoat polishing and surface restoration with the correct foam pads and compounds (application inferred from similar FEIN accessories used in marine polishing sets).
- General industrial maintenance: Versatile backing plate for maintenance and repair work where a compact but efficient 150 mm sanding/polishing system is required.
Ensure that the backing plate thread, diameter and recommended maximum speed match your machine before use.
FAQ – FEIN BACKING PLATE Ø 150 mm
-
1. Is this backing plate compatible with all FEIN polishers or grinders?
No. Compatibility depends mainly on the spindle thread and permitted pad diameter of your specific machine. Many FEIN 150 mm backing pads use an M14 internal thread, but this is not fully verified for this exact product name. Always check your machine manual and the FEIN technical datasheet.
-
2. Can I use this backing plate with other brands of machines?
In many cases, yes, if the machine has the same spindle thread (typically M14) and allows a 150 mm backing plate at the corresponding speed. However, this is not guaranteed and should be checked case by case.
-
3. What type of discs can I attach to the plate?
It is typically designed for 150 mm hook-and-loop (Velcro-type) sanding or polishing discs. The exact compatibility with specific disc types and hole patterns is not verified and should be confirmed with the product documentation.
-
4. Does it have dust extraction holes?
Many FEIN 150 mm backing pads are perforated for dust extraction, but the exact hole pattern of this BACKING PLATE Ø 150 mm is not confirmed. If dust extraction is critical, verify visually or via the official datasheet before purchase.
-
5. Is the backing plate hard or soft?
FEIN offers backing plates in different hardness levels depending on the application (e.g. hard for aggressive sanding, softer for polishing). The hardness of this exact model is not specified and must be checked in the official technical information.
-
6. What is the maximum speed (RPM) of the backing plate?
The maximum allowable speed depends on the specific FEIN model reference and is not available for this generic name. Never exceed the RPM marked on the backing plate or in the official FEIN documentation.
-
7. Can I use this backing plate for both sanding and polishing?
In principle, yes. Backing plates of this type are commonly used for both sanding (with abrasives) and polishing (with foam or wool pads), provided that the hardness and design are suitable for the intended process and that the manufacturer allows it.
-
8. How should I maintain the backing plate?
Regularly remove dust and residues from the hook-and-loop surface and avoid overheating or mechanical damage. If the hook-and-loop no longer holds the discs properly or the plate is cracked or deformed, it should be replaced. These recommendations are general good practice, not model-specific instructions.
-
9. Is this product supplied with sanding or polishing discs?
Typically, backing plates are sold separately without abrasives. The exact content of supply for this item is not confirmed; check the product description from your distributor.
-
10. Where can I find the exact reference and confirmed specifications?
For precise information such as article number, thread size, hardness, maximum RPM and hole pattern, consult the official FEIN technical datasheet or the documentation provided by your authorised distributor.

Section 8 – Individual protective measures
The recommendations below are general safety guidelines for working with powered sanders and polishers fitted with a backing plate. They are not a substitute for the safety instructions of your machine or the official FEIN documentation.
- Eye protection: Always wear safety goggles or a face shield to protect against dust and particles ejected by the rotating disc.
- Respiratory protection: Use a suitable dust mask or respirator when sanding materials that generate dust, and connect the tool to an appropriate dust extraction system whenever possible.
- Hearing protection: Powered sanding and polishing tools can generate high noise levels; use earplugs or earmuffs according to local regulations and exposure duration.
- Hand protection: Wear work gloves that allow a secure grip on the tool while protecting your hands from vibration, sharp edges and accidental contact with the rotating disc.
- Protective clothing: Use close-fitting workwear that covers arms and legs, avoiding loose garments, jewellery or accessories that could become entangled in moving parts.
- Work area safety: Ensure the work area is well lit, dry and free of flammable vapours or materials. Keep bystanders at a safe distance when operating the machine.
- Tool and accessory inspection: Before use, inspect the backing plate for cracks, deformation, worn hook-and-loop areas or damaged threads. Do not use the accessory if any defect is observed.
Always follow the safety instructions and PPE recommendations provided by FEIN and by the manufacturer of your power tool and abrasives.
