3M 7000148198 Cubitron Ii 967A Flap Disc 60 Grit 5 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000148198 is a 5-inch, 60-grit right-angle flap disc from the Cubitron II 967A line, built for medium-pressure grinding and surface preparation on flat and contoured workpieces. It runs on 3M Precision-Shaped Grain, a ceramic abrasive technology that fractures along engineered lines to expose fresh cutting edges throughout the life of the disc. The result is a faster cut rate and longer disc life compared to conventional aluminum oxide flap discs. Each disc weighs 0.22 pounds and is mounted on a poly-cotton backing that promotes controlled, even wear under moderate unit pressure.

This disc is suited for light deburring, weld leveling, and surface prep before painting on mild steel. It also performs well in stainless steel fabrication where gouge resistance and finish quality matter. The right-angle configuration fits standard right-angle grinders used in fabrication shops, maintenance environments, and light industrial settings. Individual flaps break down progressively during use, continuously exposing fresh abrasive mineral for a consistent cut rate from start to finish.

Key Features

• 3M Precision-Shaped Grain delivers fast cutting action and extended disc life
• Poly-cotton backing provides controlled, even wear at medium unit pressure
• Progressive flap breakdown exposes fresh mineral throughout the disc life
• Less gouging than fiber discs and bonded abrasive wheels
• Effective on both flat and contoured surfaces
• Suitable for mild steel deburring, weld leveling, and stainless steel surface prep

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard right-angle grinders that accept 5-inch flap discs. Appropriate for mild steel and stainless steel workpieces in fabrication, welding, and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Install the disc on a compatible right-angle grinder rated for the disc diameter before connecting to power. Inspect the disc for damage before each use and do not use a disc that shows cracks, missing flaps, or delamination. Follow the grinder and abrasive manufacturer RPM ratings — never exceed the maximum operating speed marked on the disc. Wear appropriate PPE including a face shield, gloves, and hearing protection during operation.
