3M 7100105557 Cross Pad P100 X-weight Ceramic 1.5x1.5x0.5 in

Product Description

The 3M 7100105557 is a ceramic grain abrasive cross pad designed for grinding and finishing applications in metal fabrication and maintenance work. Built on an X-weight cloth backing with an 8-ply cross construction, this pad delivers consistent cut and durability under heavy use. The resin bond provides heat resistance, and the integrated grinding aid promotes cooler grinding to reduce workpiece discoloration and pad glazing. Measuring 1.5 inches x 1.5 inches x 0.5 inches and rated P100 grit, it is suited for blending, deburring, and surface prep on contoured or hard-to-reach areas. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the primary users.

This cross pad is used in industrial and shop environments where conventional flat abrasives cannot conform to the work surface. The compact 1.5 inches x 1.5 inches x 0.5 inches form factor makes it effective for inside corners, slots, and curved profiles. The P100 grit cuts aggressively enough to remove weld scale and burrs while leaving a surface ready for finishing passes. It is sold in individual units and is typically used with die grinders or mandrel-mounted setups in metal fabrication, HVAC component manufacturing, and general maintenance applications.

Key Features

• Ceramic grain abrasive construction for aggressive cut and long pad life
• 8-ply cross pad design conforms to contoured and hard-to-reach surfaces
• X-weight cloth backing provides durability under heavy grinding pressure
• Resin bonded for heat resistance during sustained grinding operations
• Integrated grinding aid reduces heat buildup for cooler grinding results
• P100 grit suitable for weld scale removal, deburring, and pre-finish surface prep

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard mandrel-mounted die grinder setups suitable for cross pad abrasives in industrial surface preparation and finishing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and mounting should be performed by qualified machinists or technicians familiar with abrasive tooling. Ensure the die grinder or power tool is powered off and disconnected before mounting or removing the pad. Verify that the tool RPM rating does not exceed the maximum rated speed of the abrasive pad. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when operating abrasive grinding equipment.
