3M 7010363758 Abrasive Disc 5 Inch 40 Grit Coarse

Product Description

The 3M 7010363758 is a coated abrasive disc designed for demanding surface preparation tasks in automotive and fabrication environments. Built on heavy E-weight backing, this 5-inch disc delivers the durability needed for extended use on paint, metal, and fiberglass. The ceramic aluminum oxide mineral blend provides a fast cut rate and extended disc life compared to conventional abrasive minerals. A pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing allows for quick disc changes on compatible random orbital and DA sanders. At 40 grit, this disc falls in the coarse range, making it well suited for aggressive material removal and shaping work.

This disc is used in automotive body shops, metal fabrication shops, and collision repair facilities. Typical applications include stripping paint from metal panels, shaping and leveling plastic body filler, and smoothing fiberglass surfaces before finishing. The coarse 40-grit cut makes it most effective in early-stage surface prep where fast stock removal is the priority. Licensed body technicians and fabricators are the primary installers and users of this product.
