3M 7000118905 Psa Cloth Sanding Disc 5 in 60 Grit Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7000118905 is a PSA (Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive) cloth sanding disc designed for heavy-duty material removal in professional grinding and finishing applications. Built on an X-weight cloth backing, this 5-inch disc runs at up to 12,000 RPM and cuts aggressively with aluminum oxide abrasive. A resin bond locks the abrasive grain in place and dissipates heat to extend disc life. The PSA backing mounts directly to a compatible backup pad or steel platen and releases cleanly for fast changeovers, keeping downtime low on production and fabrication lines.

This disc is suited for metalworking, woodworking, and composite surface preparation where fast stock removal and long abrasive life are priorities. The aluminum oxide grain performs consistently across ferrous metals, hardwoods, and painted surfaces. The disc supports both wet and dry sanding, making it adaptable to shop environments with coolant or dust-collection setups. At 60 grit, it is appropriate for aggressive stock removal, weld blending, and surface leveling ahead of finishing steps. Licensed trades and production grinders working in fabrication shops or field metal prep are the primary installers and end users.

Key Features

• PSA backing adheres firmly to backup pads or steel platens and releases cleanly for fast disc replacement
• X-weight cloth backing resists tearing and edge wear during aggressive material removal
• Aluminum oxide abrasive delivers fast cutting action and long service life across multiple surface types
• Resin bond protects against heat damage, extending overall disc life
• Rated to 12,000 RPM for use with standard random orbital and disc grinders
• Compatible with both wet and dry sanding applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with backup pads and steel platens that accept 5-inch PSA-mount sanding discs.

Installation Notes

Ensure the backup pad or steel platen surface is clean and free of debris before applying the PSA disc to achieve full adhesion. Power down and disconnect the grinder before mounting or removing any abrasive disc. Verify the tool's rated RPM meets or exceeds the disc's 12,000 RPM maximum before operation. Follow applicable ANSI B7 abrasive safety standards and wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and hearing protection during use.
