3M 7100035589 Psa Cloth Disc 348D 9 Inch 60 Grit Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7100035589 is a PSA cloth sanding disc in the 348D series, designed for heavy-duty material removal on a range of surfaces. The disc features a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing that bonds securely to a backup pad or steel platen and releases cleanly for fast replacement. An X-weight cloth backing resists tearing and edge wear under aggressive use. Aluminum oxide abrasive delivers fast cutting action and long service life. A resin bond system shields the disc from heat buildup, extending overall disc life. The disc is rated for wet and dry applications at up to 5,000 RPM.

This disc is suited for production grinding, blending, and finishing operations in metal fabrication, woodworking, and general industrial environments. The 9-inch diameter and 60-grit cut make it a practical choice for stock removal and surface prep work on flat or near-flat workpieces. It is typically used by metalworkers, fabricators, and industrial maintenance technicians operating stationary disc sanders or handheld machines with a compatible backup pad or steel platen.

Key Features

• Pressure-sensitive adhesive backing bonds to backup pads or steel platens and releases cleanly for quick disc changes
• X-weight cloth backing withstands aggressive sanding without tearing or edge wear
• Aluminum oxide abrasive cuts fast and delivers long service life across a variety of surfaces
• Resin bond protects against heat damage to extend disc life

Compatibility

Designed for use with backup pads or steel platens that accept 9-inch PSA-style sanding discs. Verify that the backup pad or platen is rated for the maximum operating speed of the disc before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation and disc changes should be performed with the machine powered off and fully stopped. Ensure the backup pad or platen surface is clean and free of adhesive residue before applying the new disc to promote consistent adhesion. Confirm the machine speed rating does not exceed 5,000 RPM before operation. Follow applicable ANSI B7 safety standards for abrasive disc use and always inspect the disc for damage before mounting.
