3M 7010368493 Surface Conditioning Abrasive Disc 3 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010368493 is a 3-inch surface conditioning RC disc designed for deburring, blending, cleaning, and finishing on composites and soft metals. Built with aluminum oxide on a reinforced RC substrate, it delivers reliable initial cut and extended cut rate throughout the life of the disc. The hook and loop attachment system allows fast pad changes without tools. At a rated speed of 8000 RPM, this disc handles coarse-grade material removal while maintaining edge flexibility to conform to workpiece contours.

This disc is suited for metal fabrication shops, aerospace composite work, and general industrial finishing applications. It performs best on flat surfaces where consistent material removal and surface blending are required. Typical tasks include coating removal, light deburring, and prep work before final finishing. The coarse grit rating makes it appropriate for initial passes on soft metals or composite panels where a finer starting point is not needed.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive on RC material for good initial and extended cut rate
• Coarse grade suited for deburring, blending, and coating removal
• High edge durability and flexibility for flat-surface and edge work
• Hook and loop attachment for tool-free disc changes
• Rated at 8000 RPM for use with standard right-angle grinders and disc sanders
• Effective on composites and soft metals

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3-inch hook and loop backup pads on right-angle grinders and disc sanders rated to 8000 RPM or higher.

Installation Notes

Mounting is performed by pressing the disc firmly onto a compatible hook and loop backup pad — no tools required. Verify the backup pad and grinder are rated for at least 8000 RPM before use. Inspect the disc for tears or delamination before each use and replace if damaged. Always use appropriate eye protection and follow applicable workplace safety standards when operating abrasive grinding equipment.
