3M 7100053536 Psa Cloth Disc 5 Inch 80 Grit Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7100053536 is a PSA (Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive) cloth sanding disc designed for heavy-duty material removal on a wide range of surfaces. Built on an X-weight cloth backing, the disc withstands aggressive stock removal without tearing or edge breakdown. The aluminum oxide abrasive cuts fast and maintains consistent performance across extended use. A resin bond system protects the abrasive from heat buildup, prolonging disc life during high-speed operation. At a 5 inch diameter and 80 grit, it is rated for operation up to 12000 RPM. The PSA backing mounts quickly to a compatible backup pad or steel platen and releases cleanly for fast changeovers. This disc is suited for both wet and dry sanding applications.

This disc is intended for use in industrial, fabrication, and finishing environments where aggressive material removal is required. Typical applications include metal grinding, weld blending, surface prep, and wood stock removal. The 80 grit aluminum oxide construction makes it well suited for initial stock removal passes before moving to finer grits. It is commonly installed by metalworkers, fabricators, and finishing technicians using rotary sanders or disc grinders equipped with a PSA-compatible backup pad or steel platen.

Key Features

• PSA backing adheres firmly to backup pads and steel platens for secure, vibration-resistant mounting

Compatibility

Designed for use with PSA-compatible backup pads and steel platens on rotary disc sanders and grinders accepting 5 inch PSA sanding discs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by metalworkers, fabricators, or finishing technicians familiar with rotary abrasive equipment. Before mounting or replacing the disc, power down and disconnect the tool from its power source. Press the PSA disc firmly and evenly onto a clean, dry backup pad or steel platen to ensure full adhesion before operating. Verify the tool speed does not exceed the 12000 RPM rating of the disc prior to use.
