3M 7000046226 Abrasive Disc 5 Inch 12000 Rpm

Product Description

The 3M 7000046226 is an aluminum oxide abrasive disc designed for fast scratch removal on automotive metal components and other metal surfaces. Built on an X-weight cloth backing with a macroreplicated grain structure, it delivers consistent cutting action while generating minimal heat. The hook-and-loop attachment system allows quick disc changes without tools. Licensed HVAC techs, auto body metal fabricators, and finishing tradespeople working with bare metal panels and welds are the primary installers and users of this disc.

This disc is suited for automotive white metal prep, weld blending, and surface finishing on bare metal panels. The microreplicated abrasive structure uses a brick-and-channel pattern that resists loading, making it effective across multiple substrate types where a consistent, predictable finish is required before priming or coating. The 5-inch diameter fits standard random orbital and disc finishing tools equipped with a hook-and-loop backing plate.

Key Features

• Macroreplicated aluminum oxide grain on X-weight cloth backing for long disc life
• Microreplicated brick-and-channel abrasive structure resists loading
• Generates minimal heat, reducing risk of substrate distortion
• Controlled abrasive breakdown delivers consistent, repeatable finish
• Hook-and-loop backing enables fast disc swaps without tools
• Rated to 12000 RPM for use with high-speed finishing tools

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5-inch hook-and-loop backing plates on random orbital sanders and disc finishing tools rated to 12000 RPM or lower.

Installation Notes

Verify the tool backing plate is clean and free of debris before attaching the disc to ensure secure hook-and-loop engagement. Confirm the tool speed rating does not exceed 12000 RPM before operation. Inspect the disc before each use and replace if the abrasive surface shows excessive wear, delamination, or damage. Proper eye and respiratory protection should be worn during use in accordance with applicable safety standards.
