Thread size in sanding pads is significant because it determines compatibility with sanding tools and ensures secure attachment. Common sizes like 5/16"-24 or M8 fit most orbital and rotary sanders. Correct thread size prevents wobbling, improves safety, and maintains consistent sanding performance. A consistent thread size, like in the 3M 20351, ensures compatibility with a variety of sanders and reduces the risk of detachment during use. The availability of standard thread sizes provides flexibility and reliability in pad selection.
