3M 7000118168 Hookit 216U 6 Inch P600 Disc Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7000118168 is a Hookit Paper Disc in the 216U series, designed for finishing applications using a random orbital sander. Built on a lightweight A-weight paper backing with aluminum oxide mineral, this 6-inch disc delivers fast, consistent cuts across a wide range of surfaces. Open coat construction and a load-resistant coating work together to reduce clogging, extend disc life, and maintain cut performance through the full life of the abrasive. The hook-and-loop attachment system allows for quick disc changes and reuse without additional hardware. This disc is well-suited for trades and shops that cycle through finishing media frequently and need reliable performance across multiple substrate types.

This disc is used in finishing operations on wood, primer, paint, sealers, topcoats, fiberglass, and plastics. It is a common choice for body shop technicians, finish carpenters, and production woodworkers running 6-inch random orbital sanders. The P600 grit rating places it in the fine finishing range, appropriate for final sanding passes before topcoating or between coats. It is sold individually and fits standard 6-inch hook-and-loop backing pads.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 6-inch hook-and-loop backing pads on random orbital sanders rated for this disc diameter and speed. Suitable for finishing on wood, primer, paint, sealers, topcoats, fiberglass, and plastics.

Installation Notes

A licensed or trained finishing technician should verify the sander backing pad speed rating does not exceed the 12000 RPM disc rating before use. Confirm the backing pad is clean and free of debris before attaching the disc to ensure full hook-and-loop engagement. Inspect the disc before each use and remove it from service if the abrasive mineral or backing shows damage. Do not use with a damaged or contaminated backing pad, as uneven contact can reduce finish quality and shorten disc life.
