3M 7010360717 Psa Cloth Disc 16 Inch 36 Grit Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010360717 is a PSA cloth sanding disc designed for heavy-duty material removal on flat and contoured surfaces. The pressure-sensitive adhesive backing mounts directly to a backup pad or steel platen, holding firm under load and releasing cleanly for fast disc changes. The abrasive layer uses aluminum oxide grain bonded with a resin system that resists heat buildup, extending disc life during sustained cutting. At 36 grit, this disc is suited for aggressive stock removal rather than finishing passes. The X-weight cloth backing handles lateral stress without tearing or edge breakdown, making it appropriate for demanding production or fabrication environments.

This disc is used in industrial, fabrication, and metalworking applications where flat or near-flat workpieces are run against a stationary or machine-mounted platen. The 16-inch diameter fits large-format disc sanders and platen grinders common in woodworking shops, metal fabrication facilities, and composite manufacturing operations. It is compatible with both wet and dry sanding setups, giving operators flexibility when working with different materials or coolant-assisted processes. Licensed trade professionals and skilled fabricators are the primary installers and end users.

Key Features

• Pressure-sensitive adhesive backing adheres securely to backup pads or steel platens and releases cleanly for quick replacement
• X-weight cloth backing resists tearing and edge wear under aggressive cutting loads
• Aluminum oxide abrasive delivers fast cut rates and long service life across a range of surfaces
• Resin bond system dissipates heat to protect the disc and extend abrasive life
• Suitable for both wet and dry sanding applications
• 36 grit configuration optimized for aggressive stock removal

Compatibility

Designed for use with large-format disc sanders, platen grinders, and backup pad assemblies that accept 16-inch PSA-mount abrasive discs.

Installation Notes

Disc mounting and replacement should be performed with the machine powered off and locked out. Clean the backup pad or steel platen surface of debris and residual adhesive before applying a new disc to ensure full adhesion contact. Press the disc firmly from the center outward to eliminate air pockets. Inspect the disc for tears or delamination before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
