3M 7010359473 Diamond Psa Cloth Disc 6 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010359473 is a diamond polishing PSA cloth disc engineered for grinding and polishing hard-to-grind materials including carbides, ceramics, and other superhard substrates. Micron-graded diamond particles are bonded to a flexible J-weight waterproof cloth backing, delivering consistent cut rate and long service life across demanding finishing applications. The pressure-sensitive adhesive backing allows fast, secure attachment to compatible backup pads without tools. Available in grades 1800, 3000, 8000, and 50,000 mesh, corresponding to 9, 6, 3, and 0.5 micron respectively, this disc covers a wide range of stock removal and final polishing stages.

This disc is suited for precision grinding and polishing operations in tool and die, aerospace component finishing, and advanced materials manufacturing environments. The waterproof J-weight cloth backing supports wet grinding with coolants, making it appropriate for applications where heat management and surface integrity are critical. Machinists, toolmakers, and precision grinding technicians are the primary users. The 6-inch diameter fits standard lapping and polishing machines that accept PSA-style discs of that size.

Key Features

• Micron-graded diamond abrasive mineral for consistent cut on carbides, ceramics, and superhard materials
• Flexible J-weight cloth backing conforms to work surfaces and resists moisture for coolant-compatible wet grinding
• Pressure-sensitive adhesive backing enables fast, tool-free attachment to PSA backup pads
• Available in 1800, 3000, 8000, and 50,000 mesh grades (9, 6, 3, and 0.5 micron) for multi-stage finishing
• 6-inch diameter suits standard lapping and polishing equipment

Compatibility

Designed for use on lapping and polishing machines equipped with 6-inch PSA-style backup pads. Intended for use on hard-to-grind materials including carbides and ceramics.

Installation Notes

Clean and dry the backup pad surface before applying the PSA disc to ensure full adhesive contact. When used in wet grinding applications, confirm the machine and backup pad are rated for coolant use. Remove and replace the disc when abrasive performance degrades to maintain consistent surface finish results. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines during disc changes.
