3M 7000046012 Scotch-brite Cs-dc 6 Inch Abrasive Disc

Product Description

The 3M 7000046012 is a Scotch-Brite CS-DC Clean and Strip non-woven abrasive disc engineered for aggressive surface preparation in metalworking applications. Built around an extra coarse (XCS) silicon carbide abrasive, it cuts through paint, rust, coatings, and corrosion quickly while preserving the underlying geometry of the workpiece. The 6-inch diameter non-woven web construction resists loading and heat buildup, allowing extended use without glazing or smearing. Fabricators, welders, and metal finishers reach for this disc when stripping or prepping surfaces ahead of coating, priming, or welding operations.

This disc is suited for both industrial and job-site metalworking tasks where thorough contaminant removal is required before surface finishing or coating application. The thin profile allows access into tight corners and recessed areas that wire brushes cannot reach effectively. Its non-woven smear-resistant construction delivers uniform wear across the full disc life, producing consistent results from first use to last. Typical applications include paint and coating removal, rust and corrosion stripping, and pre-weld or pre-coat surface prep on steel, iron, and similar metals.

Key Features

• Extra coarse (XCS) silicon carbide abrasive delivers aggressive cutting action on paint, rust, and coatings
• Non-woven web material resists loading and smearing for consistent results throughout disc life
• Heat-resistant construction allows prolonged operation without performance degradation
• Thin disc profile accesses tight corners and contoured surfaces
• Removes surface contaminants without altering workpiece geometry
• Greater surface coverage compared to wire brush alternatives

Compatibility

Designed for use as a clean and strip disc on standard 6-inch disc grinders and angle grinders with compatible backing pads for metal surface preparation applications.

Installation Notes

Mount this disc only on a grinder rated for the disc diameter and operating speed. Ensure the backing pad and arbor are secure before operation and that all power is disconnected during disc changes. Operators should wear appropriate PPE including eye protection, gloves, and respiratory protection when stripping coatings or rust. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines for abrasive disc use.
