Scotch-Brite 5" Coarse Grit Ceramic Aluminum Oxide Grinding Disc - Heavy Duty Metal Blending & Finishing Wheel - Ideal for Metalworking, Automotive Repair & DIY Projects

Product Description Scotch-Brite Light Grinding and Blending Discs use ceramic aluminum oxide, a blended ceramic mineral engineered to fracture frequently and surpass aluminum oxide abrasives in both cut-rate and durability. Available in both Heavy Duty (HD) and Super Duty (SD) coarse — depending on your finish and aggressiveness needs — this proprietary ceramic blend is built to cut fast and handle intense stress applications. Thanks to these performance benefits, Super Duty (SD) discs are able to grind and blend in a single step where a 3 mil or greater paint thickness is being applied, while Heavy Duty (HD) discs are made for applications with less than 3 mil — making Scotch-Brite Light Grinding and Blending Discs a high-performance, 'all-in-one' solution. From the Manufacturer The 3M™ Scotch-Brite™ Light Grinding and Blending Disc uses ceramic abrasive grain blend to achieve a high cut-rate for optimal weld grinding and blending in mild-steel applications. In these instances, LGB discs are designed to effectively blend and refine a grade 36 scratch or finer. Designed with a hook and loop attachment and removal system, the no-hole center allows use of more of the disc surface as well as quick and easy disc change-out. These attributes combine to provide consistent finishing over the life of the disc. Additionally, LGB discs can often single-handedly prepare surfaces for painting, where a 3 mil or greater paint thickness is being applied, without adding a final dual-action sanding step.3M™ ceramic aluminum oxide blend is a ceramic mineral designed using a 3M patented process to enhance toughness and hardness of the grain for a higher level performance. Ceramic aluminum oxide blend is engineered to fracture frequently and surpasses aluminum oxide abrasives in both cut-rate and durability. Perfect for moderate to heavy stock removal as well as finishing, ceramic abrasives are built to cut fast and handle intense heat and stress applications.Scotch-Brite™ abrasives are unique surface conditioning products with abrasives incorporated into non-woven fiber matrix. Combining abrasives and non-woven material creates an abrasive system that delivers consistent results for the life of the product. The open-web material runs cool and is load resistant, which keeps the abrasive minerals cutting at high performance by limiting clogging of the fibers.3M offers a complete line of hook-and-loop style Hookit™ discs for work spaces where adhesive backed discs may become contaminated by dust, dirt, or flying debris. They are often used in applications where a Stikit™ disc may be too aggressive, as Hookit™ discs tend to leave finer finishes than adhesive backed discs. Hookit™ sanding discs conveniently and firmly attach to a hook-and-loop backup disc pad (sold separately) on a random orbital sander, can be removed cleanly and easily, and can be re-used again and again for the extent of the abrasive life. For more than a century, 3M has applied innovation and technology to improving our customers’ lives and supporting their business goals. Today the company, from its headquarters in St. Paul, Minnesota, serves industrial and commercial customers and consumers in nearly 200 countries. Abrasive Systems products, including a complete line of coated abrasives, microfinishing and microreplicated abrasives, and hardware accessories, provide the finishing touch for almost any surface conditioning application. The 3M brand, across thousands of products, represents consistency, superior quality, and value.
