3M 7010368496 Surface Conditioning Disc 4.5 in Extra Coarse

Product Description

The 3M 7010368496 is a surface conditioning RC disc engineered for deburring, blending, cleaning, and finishing on composites and soft metals. Built on a reinforced cloth (RC) backing, this disc pairs aluminum oxide abrasive grain with a flexible construction that holds up at the edges during extended use. It runs at up to 8000 RPM on a 4.5-inch diameter platform and attaches via a hook and loop fastening system, making disc changes fast in production and field environments. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators working on composite panels, aluminum, and similar materials will find this a reliable everyday disc for moderate-pressure surface work.

This disc is suited for flat surface applications where consistent material removal and a clean finish are both required. Common tasks include coating removal, light deburring, and surface blending prior to inspection or finishing. The aluminum oxide grain delivers good initial cut and maintains performance over the life of the disc rather than dropping off quickly. It is most effective on composites and softer metals at average operating pressure, making it a practical choice for general shop use and mobile service work where one disc needs to handle several tasks.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide grain on RC backing for good initial and extended cut rate
• High edge durability supports consistent performance across the full disc life
• Flexible construction allows effective contact on flat and near-flat surfaces
• Hook and loop attachment enables fast disc swaps without tools
• Rated to 8000 RPM for compatibility with standard angle grinders and disc sanders
• Effective for deburring, blending, coating removal, and finish prep on composites and soft metals

Compatibility

Designed for use with hook and loop disc pads on angle grinders and random orbital sanders that accept 4.5-inch diameter abrasive discs.

Installation Notes

Confirm the grinder or sander pad speed rating meets or exceeds 8000 RPM before mounting this disc. Power down and disconnect the tool before attaching or removing the disc from the hook and loop pad. Inspect the disc for tears or delamination before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Follow applicable workplace safety standards for abrasive wheel use, including proper eye and face protection.
