What Are These Accessories Used For?
These parts enhance fit, control, dust extraction or functionality:
- Backing Pads – Fit sanding discs to standard grinders for shaping and cleaning
- Dust Shrouds – Help connect your grinder to a vac for dust-reduced grinding
- Spanners & Flange Nuts – Replace lost parts or secure new discs with ease
- Guards & Collars – Maintain safe operating conditions on older tools
Used By:
- Builders and M&E installers doing surface prep
- Site workers needing spares or disc change tools
- Dust-conscious trades needing vac integration
Choosing the Right Grinder Accessory
Match disc size, spindle thread and application type:
1. Backing Pad Size
Ensure pad size matches your grinder (115mm or 125mm) and is compatible with the abrasive discs you’re fitting.
2. Dust Shroud Fitment
Some are universal, others brand-specific — check compatibility before buying for best vac seal and alignment.
3. Thread & Nut Types
Most grinders use M14 thread. Always confirm fit when replacing flange nuts or buying spanners for multi-tools.

Grinder Accessory FAQs
Will these fit any angle grinder?
Most accessories are universal for 115mm/125mm grinders with M14 thread — but always check product details to confirm fit.
Can I add a dust shroud to any grinder?
In many cases yes — but fit may vary. Check if it’s clip-on, collar-mounted or needs adaptor rings to match your model.
What’s the difference between a backing pad and a flap disc?
A backing pad holds sanding discs via hook & loop or adhesive. A flap disc is a self-contained sanding disc with built-in abrasive flaps.
Do I need a specific spanner for my grinder?
Most grinders use standard pin spanners — but check handle size and pin gap to match your flange nut spacing.
