3M 7000118631 Sanding Disc 3 Inch P500 Grit Clean Sanding

Product Description

The 3M 7000118631 is a 3-inch hook-and-loop abrasive sanding disc engineered for clean sanding applications where dust control and finish consistency matter. Built on a durable, tear-resistant film backing, this disc uses aluminum oxide abrasive grain at P500 grit to deliver fast cutting action and extended disc life compared to traditional garnet abrasives. The multi-hole pattern evacuates dust more effectively than standard 5-hole or 6-hole disc designs, increasing cut rate while keeping the disc surface clear of buildup. Licensed tradespeople and finishing professionals in woodworking, automotive, and light manufacturing environments rely on this format for consistent, repeatable results.

This disc is suited for fine finish sanding on wood, composites, and painted surfaces in both residential and light commercial settings. The open-coat, load-resistant mineral coating resists clogging, which is especially useful when sanding softer woods, primers, or finish coats that tend to load conventional abrasives quickly. The hook-and-loop attachment system allows fast disc changes without tool downtime, and the multi-hole pattern does not require alignment with the backing pad holes, so swapping discs mid-job is straightforward.

Key Features

• Precise multi-hole pattern provides excellent dust extraction without requiring hole alignment to the pad
• Open-coat, load-resistant mineral coating resists clogging and extends disc life
• Aluminum oxide abrasive grain cuts faster and lasts longer than traditional garnet
• Tear-resistant film backing delivers a close-tolerance, consistent finish surface
• Hook-and-loop attachment allows quick disc changes and disc reuse

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3-inch hook-and-loop random orbital and orbital sanding pads. The multi-hole pattern does not require alignment with backing pad hole configurations.

Installation Notes

Install by pressing the disc firmly onto a compatible hook-and-loop backing pad before starting the tool. Inspect the disc surface before each use and replace if the abrasive mineral is worn through or the film backing is torn. Operate sanding equipment according to the tool manufacturer's recommended speed ratings for the disc diameter in use. Always use appropriate respiratory protection and dust collection equipment when sanding, as fine abrasive dust poses an inhalation hazard.
