3M 7000046843 Non-woven Abrasive Disc 6 Inch Hook and Loop

Product Description

The 3M 7000046843 is a non-woven aluminum oxide abrasive disc built for light-duty blending, cleaning, deburring, and finishing on a range of metal surfaces. The disc uses a hook and loop backing that attaches to a compatible hook and loop holder pad on a random orbital sander, sold separately. Pre-cut dust holes channel debris away from the work surface when the disc is paired with a vacuum system, keeping the workpiece and work area clean. At 6 inches in diameter, it fits standard random orbital sanding equipment used in industrial and fabrication environments.

This disc is suited for light-duty industrial applications where a moderately aggressive cut is needed without the heavier stock removal associated with high-performance abrasive grades. It performs well on most metals including steel, aluminum, and stainless, making it a practical choice for finishing and surface preparation tasks in fabrication shops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance environments. Licensed tradeworkers and shop technicians handling metal finishing and surface prep are the primary users.

Key Features

• Moderately aggressive aluminum oxide mineral for versatile light-duty use including cleaning and deburring
• Hook and loop attachment for fast disc changes on random orbital sanding systems
• Dust holes designed for use with vacuum systems to reduce airborne debris and workpiece contamination
• Tough, pliable nylon web construction leaves a consistent, professional surface finish
• Open web structure resists loading and reduces debris buildup that can clog the abrasive
• Available in medium (MED) and very fine (VFN) aluminum oxide grades

Compatibility

Designed for use with hook and loop holder pads on random orbital sanders. A compatible hook and loop holder pad is required and sold separately. Suitable for use on most metals.

Installation Notes

Attach the disc firmly to a hook and loop holder pad mounted on a random orbital sander before operation. Ensure the sander is powered off and unplugged before changing discs. Connect the sander to an appropriate vacuum system through the dust port to activate dust extraction through the disc holes. Follow all applicable shop safety guidelines and wear appropriate PPE including eye and respiratory protection during sanding operations.
