3M 7010029930 5 Inch P180 Sanding Disc Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7010029930 is a coated abrasive sanding disc designed for finish sanding applications where dust control and disc longevity are critical. Built on a C-weight paper backing with an aluminum oxide abrasive and an open-coat, load-resistant finish, this 5-inch disc resists clogging and maintains consistent cut rate across its full service life. A proprietary multi-hole pattern enables efficient dust evacuation without requiring hole alignment during mounting. Licensed tradespeople and finishing contractors use this disc for surface prep and final-pass sanding on wood, composites, and similar substrates.

This disc is suited for residential and light commercial finishing work where a clean sanding environment is required. The P180 grit rating positions it for intermediate to fine finish sanding, including between-coat prep and surface leveling. The hook-and-loop attachment system allows fast disc changes and supports disc reuse, making it practical for production environments and shop settings alike. It is sold and packaged as an individual unit.

Key Features

• Proprietary multi-hole pattern evacuates dust efficiently without requiring hole alignment
• Open-coat, load-resistant coating resists clogging to maintain cut rate and extend disc life
• Aluminum oxide abrasive cuts faster and outlasts traditional garnet grains
• C-weight paper backing provides firm support for aggressive sanding passes
• Hook-and-loop mounting allows quick disc changes and supports repeated reuse

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or consumable fit for 5-inch hook-and-loop random orbital and orbital sanders used in woodworking, finishing, and surface preparation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pressing the disc firmly onto a compatible 5-inch hook-and-loop sanding pad until fully seated. No tools are required for disc changes. Inspect the backing pad for worn hooks before mounting a new disc, as a degraded pad reduces holding force and can cause disc slippage during operation. Disconnect the sander from power before changing discs.
