3M 48011-29862 Sanding Screen 80 Grit 18.5 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 48011-29862 is a mesh screen sanding disc engineered for consistent material removal on floor surfaces. Built on a strong fiber mesh with a uniform open construction, it resists loading and maintains a steady cut rate from the first pass to the last. The 80 grit rating makes it well suited for leveling, blending, and surface prep work on wood floors. Sold by the case, this sanding screen is a standard choice for flooring contractors and finish carpenters who require repeatable results across large surface areas.

This sanding screen is used in commercial and residential floor sanding operations. The open mesh construction allows dust and debris to pass through the screen rather than clogging the abrasive surface, which extends usable life per disc and reduces downtime during multi-pass sanding sequences. It is designed for use with rotary floor sanders and similar floor preparation equipment common in finish flooring work.

Key Features

• 80 grit abrasive rating for aggressive material removal and surface leveling
• Uniform open mesh construction resists loading and clogging
• Strong fiber backing maintains disc integrity through full sanding cycles
• Consistent cut rate from start to finish reduces need for mid-job disc changes
• Case quantity format supports high-volume flooring jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement sanding screen for use with standard rotary floor sanding machines that accept 17-inch round screen discs.

Installation Notes

Flooring contractors and finish carpenters are the primary installers of this product. Before loading a new screen, ensure the floor sander is powered off and unplugged. Inspect the drive pad for wear or damage prior to installing the disc, as a deteriorated pad will cause uneven cut patterns. Follow equipment manufacturer guidelines for disc seating and machine speed settings appropriate to the floor substrate being sanded.
