3M 7100064177 Hook and Loop Sanding Disc 180 Grit 5 in

Product Description

The 3M 7100064177 is a 5-inch coated abrasive sanding disc designed for stock removal on a wide range of substrates. It uses 3M Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain, a triangular mineral engineered to slice through material rather than gouge or plow, delivering up to 2x the cut speed and up to 6x the service life of conventional abrasive discs. A film backing provides greater tear resistance and edge retention compared to paper-backed alternatives. The hook and loop attachment system speeds up disc changes, and a precise multi-hole pattern supports active dust extraction during sanding operations.

This disc is suited for surface preparation, material removal, and finishing tasks across metal, wood, composites, and painted surfaces in professional trade and production environments. The 180-grit rating targets fine stock removal and surface blending work. It is well-suited for bodywork, fabrication shops, woodworking operations, and general industrial sanding where consistent cut rate and long disc life reduce downtime and consumable costs.

Key Features

• 3M Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain cuts up to 2x faster than conventional abrasives
• Service life up to 6x longer than standard abrasive discs
• Film backing delivers superior tear resistance and edge retention
• Hook and loop attachment for fast, tool-free disc changes
• Multi-hole pattern enables efficient dust extraction at the source
• 180 grit suited for fine stock removal and surface blending

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5-inch hook and loop backup pads on random orbital sanders and right-angle grinders equipped with hook and loop interfaces.

Installation Notes

Ensure the backup pad surface is clean and free of debris before attaching the disc to maintain secure hook and loop engagement. Power down the sander and disconnect it from the power source before changing discs. Verify the sander RPM rating does not exceed the disc rating before operation. Use with an appropriate dust extraction system to maintain visibility and meet applicable workplace air quality standards.
