3M 7010368522 Buff Blend Ap Disc 3 Inch Medium Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010368522 is a Buff and Blend AP abrasive disc built for medium-duty surface finishing work on metal. The disc combines a flexible, open-web construction with aluminum oxide mineral to deliver consistent scratch patterns without gouging or distorting part geometry. At 3 inches in diameter with a 1/4 inch arbor, it mounts to common rotary tools and angle grinders used in fabrication and finishing shops. The aluminum oxide mineral is friable, meaning it fractures during use to expose fresh, sharp cutting edges, which helps maintain a uniform finish throughout the disc life.

This disc is suited for cleaning, edge deburring, and antique finishing on ferrous alloys and a variety of other metals. The medium grade makes it appropriate for general surface prep where aggressive stock removal is not required. The open-web design resists loading, so the disc stays clear of swarf and debris longer than closed-coat alternatives. A lubricant can be applied during use to further reduce smearing and swarf buildup, making it practical for both dry and wet finishing setups in fabrication, maintenance, and metalworking environments.

Key Features

• Flexible open-web construction will not gouge substrates or alter part geometry
• Friable aluminum oxide mineral fractures to reveal fresh cutting edges for consistent scratch pattern
• Load-resistant open web resists clogging with debris for extended service life
• Compatible with lubricants to reduce swarf and prevent substrate smearing
• Medium grade suitable for cleaning, edge deburring, and antique finishing on metals including ferrous alloys
• 1/4 inch arbor fits standard rotary and angle grinder tooling

Compatibility

Designed for use on ferrous alloys and a variety of metals where medium-duty cleaning, deburring, or antique finishing is required. Mounts to rotary tools and angle grinders accepting a 1/4 inch arbor.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of abrasive discs should be performed by qualified metalworking or fabrication personnel following applicable tool manufacturer guidelines. Ensure the tool is powered off and unplugged before mounting or removing the disc. Confirm the arbor size and maximum RPM rating of the tool does not exceed the disc rating before operation. Eye protection and appropriate PPE should be worn at all times during use.
