3M 7100016736 Abrasive Disc 2 Inch P180 Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7100016736 is a 2-inch coated abrasive disc engineered for both stock removal and finishing operations. It combines 3M ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide in a self-sharpening blend that delivers improved cut-rate and durability compared to straight aluminum oxide products. The disc rides on a heavy polyester backing rated for medium-pressure applications in both wet and dry environments. A grinding aid is incorporated into the construction to reduce heat buildup during work on heat-sensitive alloys including stainless steel, nickel alloys, and titanium. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators working in metal finishing, weld blending, and surface prep will find this disc suited to consistent production use.

This disc is designed for use in metal fabrication, automotive bodywork, aerospace component finishing, and general industrial grinding and blending tasks. It performs across wet and dry setups, making it a practical choice for shops that run both water-cooled and dry grinder configurations. The P180 grit rating positions it in the fine finishing range, appropriate for surface refinement after coarser stock removal passes. The 2-inch diameter is compatible with right-angle grinders and finishing tools fitted with a matching Roloc-style quick-change attachment system.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide blend self-sharpens during use for sustained cut-rate and extended disc life
• Roloc-style threaded attachment system allows fast, secure disc changes without tools
• Heavy polyester backing withstands medium-pressure grinding in both wet and dry conditions
• Grinding aid reduces heat generation when working heat-sensitive alloys such as stainless steel, nickel alloys, and titanium
• Heat-resistant resin bond maintains abrasive adhesion under pressure, elevated temperature, and water exposure
• P180 fine grit suited for finishing passes and surface refinement following coarser material removal

Compatibility

Designed for use with right-angle grinders and rotary finishing tools equipped with a Roloc-style quick-change hub accepting 2-inch diameter discs.

Installation Notes

Installation and disc changes should be performed with the grinder powered off and unplugged or locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout requirements. Inspect the disc for damage before mounting and confirm the tool RPM rating meets or exceeds the disc maximum. Operators should wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling abrasive discs and operating grinding equipment. Wet-use setups should verify tool and attachment compatibility with water before beginning the operation.
