3M 7000046852 Quick Change Disc 1 Inch Ao Medium

Product Description

The 3M 7000046852 is a quick change surface conditioning disc designed for surface prep work on flat workpieces prior to final finishing and coating operations. Built on an open-web RC material with aluminum oxide abrasive, this medium-grade disc cleans and conditions surfaces in a single pass, eliminating separate prep steps. The RC material breaks down under moderate pressure to continuously expose fresh fibers and mineral, maintaining cut rate throughout the disc's life. It resists loading from paint and corrosion byproducts. Sold individually, the disc measures 1 inch in diameter and is suited for use by metalworkers, fabricators, and finishing technicians.

This disc is intended for use on flat surfaces including composites and softer metals such as aluminum. Typical applications include blending, coating removal, light deburring, and surface finishing in fabrication and maintenance environments. The open-web construction responds to minor surface irregularities and reduces the risk of gouging the workpiece. The quick change mounting system allows for fast disc swaps without stopping to use additional tooling, supporting consistent workflow on production and repair tasks.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive on RC open-web material for good initial and sustained cut rate
• Medium grade for general-purpose blending, coating removal, and light deburring
• Load-resistant construction reduces clogging when working on painted or corroded surfaces
• Open-web design conforms to surface irregularities and minimizes workpiece gouging
• Quick change attachment allows fast, tool-free disc swaps to reduce downtime
• Well-suited for composites and soft metals including aluminum

Compatibility

Designed for use with quick change disc holders and right-angle die grinders that accept standard Type R quick change accessories. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pressing the disc onto a compatible quick change mandrel until it locks securely before powering the tool. Always power down and disconnect the tool from its air or electrical source before mounting or removing a disc. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable ANSI B11 and OSHA abrasive safety guidelines. Do not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the disc or the tool.
