3M 7100104601 Cubitron Ii 969F Flap Disc 5 Inch 40 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100104601 is the Cubitron II 969F flap disc, a right-angle abrasive disc engineered for medium to high-pressure metal grinding and finishing. Built on a durable polyester backing and loaded with 3M Precision-Shaped Grain, this 5-inch, 40-grit disc delivers a fast, consistent cut throughout its service life. As individual flaps wear down, they expose fresh abrasive mineral, maintaining cut rate without operator intervention. Licensed trades working on structural steel, weld preparation, and fabrication will find this disc suited to demanding production environments where both speed and surface finish matter.

The 969F flap disc is designed for aggressive grinding tasks including beveling, weld removal, and edge deburring on a range of metal substrates. Its right-angle configuration makes it compatible with standard right-angle grinders used in metal fabrication shops, structural steel work, and field maintenance applications. The disc geometry reduces the risk of gouging compared to bonded grinding wheels and fiber discs, making it a practical choice for work where surface finish is part of the acceptance criteria.

Key Features

• 3M Precision-Shaped Grain provides an exceptionally fast cut rate for aggressive grinding applications
• Durable polyester backing withstands high unit pressure without delaminating
• Self-renewing flap construction exposes fresh mineral as disc wears, maintaining consistent material removal
• Lower gouging risk compared to bonded wheels and fiber discs
• Suited for applications where finish quality is a factor alongside stock removal rate
• Right-angle disc format compatible with standard angle grinders

Compatibility

Designed for use on a variety of metals in right-angle grinder applications, including beveling, weld removal, and edge deburring tasks where a consistent cut rate and smooth finish are required.

Installation Notes

Mount and remove flap discs only with the grinder unplugged or the power source locked out. Verify that the grinder's rated RPM meets or exceeds the disc's maximum operating speed before use. Inspect the disc for damage before each use and replace immediately if flaps are torn or the backing shows cracks. Always use the correct arbor size and backing flange for secure disc retention.
