3M 7010368524 Buff Blend Ap Abrasive Disc 8 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010368524 is a Buff and Blend AP non-woven abrasive disc built for medium-duty surface conditioning work on metal substrates. The open web construction uses aluminum oxide mineral that fractures during use, continuously exposing fresh cutting edges for a consistent scratch pattern across the entire service life of the disc. At 8 inches in diameter with a 1/2 inch arbor bore and a maximum speed rating of 2700 RPM, this disc fits standard right-angle grinders and bench-mounted disc tools commonly used in fabrication and maintenance shops. It is well suited for tasks where controlled material removal and preserved part geometry matter most.

This disc is intended for medium-duty cleaning, edge deburring, and antique finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals including ferrous alloys. The open web design resists loading, making it a practical choice for extended runs on surfaces that generate swarf or fine metallic debris. A lubricant can be applied during use to further reduce swarf accumulation and minimize smearing on the substrate. It is available in very fine grade (VFN, red) and medium grade (MED, tan) to match the surface finish requirement of the application.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide mineral fractures to reveal fresh cutting edges, maintaining a consistent scratch pattern throughout disc life
• Open web construction is flexible and pliable, preventing gouging and preserving workpiece geometry
• Load-resistant open web resists clogging from debris, extending service life in continuous-use applications
• Compatible with lubricant use to reduce swarf buildup and limit substrate smearing
• Available in very fine (VFN, red) and medium (MED, tan) grades for finish versatility
• 8 inch diameter with 1/2 inch arbor bore fits standard right-angle grinder and disc tool configurations

Compatibility

Designed for use on a variety of metals including ferrous alloys; fits tools accepting an 8 inch disc with a 1/2 inch arbor bore at speeds up to 2700 RPM.

Installation Notes

This disc is installed and operated by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working with angle grinders or bench disc tools. Before mounting, confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 2700 RPM maximum rating marked on the disc. Ensure the arbor nut is properly secured and the tool guard is in place before operating. Inspect the disc for tears or damage before each use and replace immediately if the web shows signs of degradation.
