3M 7010326432 Fiber Disc 60 Grit Ceramic 5 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7010326432 is a 5-inch ceramic fiber disc rated at 60 grit (medium grade) for use with angle grinders and disc sanders in aggressive material removal applications. Built on a resinoid bond with a fiber backing, the disc delivers consistent cut rate and durability across ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The GL Quick Change attachment system allows tool-free disc swaps without a wrench, reducing downtime during production grinding. This disc is maroon in color and belongs to the 982C series. Maximum operating speed is 12,000 RPM. Each package contains one disc, sold in multiples of 25.

This disc suits heavy stock removal, weld blending, edge chamfering, and surface conditioning on structural steel, stainless, and aluminum in fabrication shops, pipe yards, and on-site metalwork. The ceramic abrasive grain self-sharpens under pressure, sustaining cut rate longer than aluminum oxide alternatives. It is a standard choice for HVAC sheet metal fabricators, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general trade professionals who run high-cycle grinding operations requiring consistent performance and fast disc changes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with angle grinder safety and ANSI B7.1 abrasive wheel standards. Power down and disconnect the grinder before mounting or removing the disc. Confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 12,000 RPM disc rating before operation. Inspect the disc for cracks or damage before each use and discard any disc that shows visible defects.
