Abstract
A friction pad includes a fastening surface, a friction surface facing away from the fastening surface, a shape delimited by a peripheral cutting edge, and a base rim extending along the peripheral cutting edge. The base rim is more compressed than a remainder of the friction pad. The reminder of the friction pad has a pad height and the base rim may have a base height that is at least one quarter of the pad height. The base rim may have a base width that is at least as large as the pad height.
