3M 7010308290 Sanding Disc 36 Grit 6 Inch Hook and Loop

Product Description

The 3M 7010308290 is a 6-inch hook-and-loop sanding disc engineered for heavy-duty stock removal on composites and metal. The abrasive layer combines ceramic and aluminum oxide in an open-coat construction, which resists loading and maintains cut rate throughout the disc life. A stearate anti-loading coating on an E-weight paper backing adds durability under aggressive use. The multi-hole pattern integrates with compatible dust-extraction tools to keep the work surface clear. Licensed HVAC techs, metalworkers, composites fabricators, and body shop professionals will find this disc suited for high-volume material removal applications.

The 7010308290 is designed for use with hook-and-loop random orbital and disc sanders in the 3M Clean Sanding System. It is appropriate for sanding fiberglass, carbon fiber composites, bare metal, and similar hard substrates in both production and repair environments. The 36-grit designation places it firmly in the coarse stock-removal category, making it a first-pass disc before progression to finer grits. Applications span automotive refinishing prep, aerospace composites work, and general industrial fabrication.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide blend delivers high cut rate and extended disc life on composites and metal
• Open-coat construction resists loading from dust and debris during aggressive sanding
• Multi-hole disc pattern improves dust evacuation and extends usable disc life when paired with extraction tools
• E-weight paper backing and stearate anti-loading coating add rigidity and resist premature wear
• Engineered to resist edge shelling during heavy stock removal passes
• Hook-and-loop attachment allows fast, secure disc changes without tools

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3M Clean Sanding System hook-and-loop random orbital sanders and compatible multi-hole dust-extraction platforms.

Installation Notes

Ensure the sander backing pad is clean and free of debris before attaching the disc to achieve full hook-and-loop engagement. Verify the tool's rated RPM does not exceed 12000 RPM before operation. Wear appropriate respiratory protection and connect to a dust extraction system where available. Inspect the disc for damage before each use and replace if the abrasive layer or backing shows signs of delamination.
