3M 7000148201 Flap Disc 80 Grit 5 Inch Cubitron Ii 967A

Product Description

The 3M 7000148201 is a Type 29 right-angle flap disc built around 3M Precision-Shaped Grain technology in the Cubitron II 967A series. At 80 grit and 5 inches in diameter, it is engineered for medium-pressure grinding, weld leveling, light deburring, and surface preparation ahead of paint or coating. The poly-cotton backing provides controlled, even flap wear, so the disc cuts at a consistent rate from first use to last. Individual flaps fracture and shed during use, continuously exposing fresh abrasive mineral. This disc weighs 1.794 pounds and is sold as an individual unit.

This disc is well suited to fabrication shops and field welding crews working on mild steel and stainless steel. Typical applications include weld bead removal, seam blending, and surface prep on flat or contoured workpieces. The 967A geometry produces less gouging than fiber discs or bonded grinding wheels, which makes it a practical choice for stainless steel work where finish quality matters alongside cut rate. Metal fabricators, ironworkers, and maintenance welders are the primary installers and users of this product.

Key Features

• 3M Precision-Shaped Grain delivers fast, consistent cut rate throughout disc life
• Poly-cotton backing supports controlled, even wear under medium unit pressure
• Individual flaps break down progressively to expose fresh mineral continuously
• Right-angle Type 29 profile suits both flat and contoured surface work
• Less gouging than fiber discs and bonded wheels, important for stainless fabrication finishes
• 80 grit optimized for weld leveling, light deburring, and paint-prep surface conditioning

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard right-angle grinders accepting 5-inch Type 29 flap discs. Suitable for mild steel and stainless steel workpieces in medium-pressure grinding and surface preparation applications.

Installation Notes

Mount only on right-angle grinders rated for the disc diameter and speed. Verify the grinder guard is in place and the arbor nut is properly tightened before operation. Always wear appropriate PPE including a face shield, gloves, and hearing protection. Follow ANSI B7.1 and the grinder manufacturer guidelines for disc mounting and maximum operating speed.
