3M 7000118873 Psa Cloth Sanding Disc 80 Grit 2 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000118873 is a PSA cloth sanding disc designed for heavy-duty material removal in industrial and trade finishing applications. The disc uses an aluminum oxide abrasive grain bonded with a resin system that resists heat buildup, extending disc life during aggressive stock removal. A pressure-sensitive adhesive backing mounts the disc securely to a backup pad or steel platen and releases cleanly for fast changeovers. The X-weight cloth backing resists tearing and edge wear under sustained load. Rated to 15000 RPM, this 2-inch disc suits high-speed angle grinders and die grinders used by fabricators, pipefitters, and finishing tradespeople.

This disc is suited for both wet and dry sanding applications across metal, wood, composites, and similar surfaces. The 80-grit designation places it in the medium-coarse range, making it effective for weld blending, surface prep before coating, and rapid scratch removal. The PSA mount system is a common configuration on backup pads used in production finishing and field repair work across manufacturing, HVAC sheet metal fabrication, and general mechanical trades.

Key Features

• Pressure-sensitive adhesive backing adheres firmly to backup pads or steel platens and releases cleanly for quick disc swaps
• X-weight cloth backing handles aggressive applications without tearing or edge breakdown
• Aluminum oxide abrasive delivers fast cutting action and long service life across multiple surface types
• Resin bond resists heat damage during sustained use, extending disc life
• Rated for wet and dry applications, adding versatility across job conditions
• 15000 RPM maximum speed rating compatible with common high-speed rotary tools

Compatibility

Designed for use with backup pads and steel platens that accept 2-inch PSA-mount sanding discs. Verify that the backup pad or platen RPM rating meets or exceeds the disc maximum of 15000 RPM before mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with rotary abrasive tools. Always power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before mounting or removing a disc. Confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the disc maximum RPM rating of 15000. Inspect the disc for damage before each use and discard any disc showing tears, delamination, or adhesive failure.
