3M 7000118898 Psa Cloth Sanding Disc 36 Grit 12 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000118898 is a PSA cloth sanding disc designed for heavy-duty material removal in industrial and professional finishing applications. The disc uses an aluminum oxide abrasive at 36 grit for aggressive cutting action and long service life. A pressure-sensitive adhesive backing secures the disc firmly 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. A resin bond protects the abrasive layer from heat buildup, extending disc life in both wet and dry use.

This disc is suited for grinding, blending, and stock removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. At 12 inches in diameter and rated to 2000 rpm, it fits larger stationary or handheld disc grinders used in fabrication shops, manufacturing facilities, and heavy trade applications. The coated abrasive construction and PSA mount make it practical for high-volume production environments where quick disc swaps reduce downtime. Both wet and dry sanding operations are supported.

Installation Notes

Mounting and disc changes should be performed with the machine powered off and unplugged. Ensure the backup pad or platen surface is clean and dry before applying the PSA disc for maximum adhesion.
