3M 7010326434 Ceramic Fiber Disc 80 Grit 5 in

Product Description

The 3M 7010326434 is a 5-inch ceramic fiber disc designed for aggressive material removal on metal, welds, and other hard surfaces. Part of the 987C Series, it runs at up to 12,000 RPM on a resinoid bond backing and uses a GL Quick Change attachment system for fast pad swaps without tools. The 80-grit, medium-grade ceramic abrasive cuts faster and runs cooler than aluminum oxide, extending disc life under heavy grinding loads. This disc is built for use with the 3M GL Quick Change Backup Pad. Metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance trades rely on this type of disc for weld blending, surface prep, and rust removal.

The 7010326434 is suited for right-angle grinder applications in fabrication shops, industrial maintenance, and field metalwork. The GL Quick Change center hole attachment allows rapid disc changes on compatible backup pads, reducing downtime during production grinding. The orange fiber backing provides durability under high-pressure grinding, making it appropriate for both flat and contoured surfaces. Each package contains one disc, and the minimum order quantity is 25 units, making it a standard replenishment item for shop supply.

Key Features

• Ceramic abrasive grain for fast cut rate and extended disc life compared to conventional abrasives

Compatibility

Designed for use with the 3M GL Quick Change Backup Pad. The GL Quick Change attachment system must be used — standard disc flanges are not compatible with this attachment type.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by grinding and fabrication trades. Always power down and disconnect the grinder before mounting or removing a disc. Verify the grinder RPM rating meets or exceeds the disc maximum of 12,000 RPM before use. Inspect the backup pad and disc for damage before each use, and never operate a damaged or worn disc.
