3M 7000045068 Psa Cloth Sanding Disc 3 Inch P180

Product Description

The 3M 7000045068 is a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) cloth sanding disc designed for aggressive material removal on a wide range of surfaces. Built on an X-weight cloth backing, the disc resists tearing and edge wear under heavy load. The aluminum oxide abrasive cuts fast and maintains long service life across both wet and dry applications. A resin bond system protects the abrasive from heat buildup, preserving disc integrity during extended use. The PSA backing adheres firmly to a backup pad or steel platen and releases cleanly for fast changeovers. Rated at 10000 RPM and sized at 3 inches in diameter with P180 grit, this disc is suited for finishing and intermediate grinding tasks.

This disc is used in metalworking, woodworking, and general fabrication applications where a consistent, fast-cutting abrasive is needed. The PSA mount system makes it well-suited for high-volume production environments where frequent disc changes are required. Both wet and dry sanding scenarios are supported, giving technicians and fabricators flexibility across different workstation setups. It is sold individually and compatible with backup pads or steel platens that accept 3 inch PSA discs.

Installation Notes

Ensure the backup pad or platen surface is clean and free of debris before mounting to achieve full PSA contact. Do not exceed the 10000 RPM maximum speed rating. Verify the backup pad or platen RPM rating matches or exceeds the tool speed before operation. Allow the adhesive to seat fully before applying load to the disc.
