3M 7000046841 Non-woven Abrasive Disc 5 Inch Hook and Loop

Product Description

The 3M 7000046841 is a non-woven abrasive disc designed for light-duty surface preparation and finishing on metal. It uses aluminum oxide mineral in a tough, pliable nylon web construction that resists loading, meaning debris is less likely to clog the abrasive surface during use. The hook and loop backing mounts directly to a compatible hook and loop holder pad on a random orbital sander. This disc is suited for technicians and tradespeople who need a versatile disc for blending, cleaning, and deburring without aggressive material removal.

This disc handles a range of light industrial tasks including removal of light oxidation, blending minor surface imperfections, surface cleaning prior to coatings, removal of small burrs, and general equipment cleanup. It is positioned as a moderately aggressive option within its product line, making it appropriate where an HP-grade disc would be too aggressive. The open web construction performs well on most metals in both shop and field settings.

Key Features

• Non-woven aluminum oxide abrasive in medium (MED) and very fine (VFN) grades
• Open web nylon construction resists loading and debris buildup
• Hook and loop backing compatible with random orbital sanding systems and holder pads
• Handles light oxidation removal, deburring, blending, and pre-coating surface cleaning
• Moderately aggressive cut — less aggressive than HP-grade material in the same line
• Works on most metals; leaves a consistent, professional surface finish

Compatibility

Designed for use with hook and loop holder pads on random orbital sanders. The holder pad is sold separately.

Installation Notes

Installation and disc changes should be performed with the sander powered off and disconnected from its power source. Confirm the holder pad is rated for the disc diameter and the tool RPM before mounting. Do not exceed the rated maximum speed of 1927 RPM. Wear appropriate eye and respiratory protection when sanding metal surfaces.
