3M 7010359501 Microfinishing Film Disc 268L 6 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010359501 is a 6-inch microfinishing film disc engineered for precise, close-tolerance surface finishing. The 268L series uses micron-graded aluminum oxide mineral resin-bonded to a 3-mil, high-strength polyester film backing. The result is a fast-cutting abrasive that maintains consistent cut rate and finish quality across the full life of the disc. It attaches via hook-and-loop to compatible random orbital and disc sanders. Automotive body technicians, paint prep specialists, and finishing tradespeople use this disc for defect repair, surface leveling, and final finishing work before paint or coating application.

This disc is suited for both wet and dry finishing applications. The water-resistant polyester film backing holds up under wet sanding conditions without delaminating or loading prematurely. The vacuum-compatible design works with standard 6-inch vacuum-port backing pads. It is commonly used in automotive refinishing, precision metalworking, and composite surface preparation where controlled, repeatable finishes are required. Color coding assists in grade selection and reduces the risk of using the wrong grit in a multi-step finishing sequence.

Key Features

• Micron-graded aluminum oxide mineral for close-tolerance, uniform finishes
• 3-mil high-strength polyester film backing resin-bonded for durability
• Water-resistant construction supports wet or dry sanding applications
• Hook-and-loop attachment allows quick disc changes and disc reuse
• Vacuum-compatible design for dust-controlled work environments
• Color-coded for grade identification and reduced selection errors

Compatibility

Designed for use with 6-inch hook-and-loop backing pads on random orbital and disc sanders equipped with vacuum dust extraction ports rated for up to 10000 rpm.

Installation Notes

Mounting and removal require no tools — press the disc firmly onto the hook-and-loop backing pad before use and confirm it is fully seated. Ensure the sander speed does not exceed the rated 10000 rpm. Inspect the disc for tears or loading before each use and replace if backing integrity is compromised. Disconnect the tool from power before changing discs.
