3M 7100105556 Cross Pad 80 Grit 1.5x1.5x0.5 in Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7100105556 is a ceramic grain abrasive cross pad built for aggressive grinding and finishing on metal and other hard surfaces. Constructed with an 8-ply X-weight cloth backing, it delivers the rigidity and durability needed for high-pressure grinding applications. Resin bonding provides heat resistance, helping the pad hold together under sustained use. A built-in grinding aid promotes cooler cutting, which reduces heat buildup at the workpiece and extends pad life. At 1.5 inches x 1.5 inches x 0.5 inches, this cross pad fits standard cross-pad holders used by metal fabricators, maintenance techs, and grinding professionals.

This pad is suited for deburring, blending, and surface conditioning tasks where a conformable abrasive is needed to reach contoured or recessed surfaces. The 80-grit X-weight configuration makes it appropriate for stock removal and preparation work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is typically used in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial production environments. Each pad is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it a standard consumable for operations with ongoing grinding needs.

Installation Notes

Cross pads are installed by qualified grinding operators or maintenance technicians familiar with abrasive tooling. Before mounting, confirm the pad holder and grinder RPM rating meets or exceeds the rated speed for the abrasive. Inspect the pad for damage before each use and discard any pad showing tears, delamination, or unusual wear. Always use appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when operating grinding equipment.
