3M 7100106768 Hook and Loop Film Disc 180 Grit 3 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100106768 is a coated abrasive hook-and-loop film disc designed for fast stock removal on a wide range of substrates. It is built around 3M Precision Shaped Grain technology, which uses triangular ceramic mineral particles engineered to slice through material rather than gouge or plow. This cutting action delivers up to two times faster cut rates and up to six times longer service life compared to conventional abrasive discs. The film backing adds tear resistance and helps the disc maintain its edge geometry throughout use. At 3 inches in diameter and 180 grit, this disc is suited to finishing and blending operations where controlled material removal is required.

This disc is intended for use in metal fabrication, woodworking, and general surface preparation tasks where stock removal is the primary goal. The hook-and-loop attachment system allows for fast disc changes without tools, making it practical for high-volume production environments and service work. It is well suited for use with compatible random orbital and inline disc sanders operating at speeds appropriate for 3-inch hook-and-loop accessories. The 180-grit rating positions it for intermediate to fine finishing passes following coarser initial grinding stages.

Key Features

• 3M Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain slices substrate for up to 2x faster cut rate versus conventional abrasives
• Ceramic mineral construction extends disc life up to 6x compared to conventional abrasive discs
• Film backing provides superior tear resistance and edge retention under load
• Hook-and-loop attachment enables rapid disc changes without tools
• 180 grit rating suited for intermediate to fine stock removal and surface finishing
• 3-inch diameter compatible with standard small-disc orbital and finishing sanders

Compatibility

Designed for use with hook-and-loop compatible random orbital and inline disc sanders accepting 3-inch abrasive discs.

Installation Notes

Ensure the sander backing pad is clean and free of debris before attaching the disc, as contamination reduces hook-and-loop holding strength. Align the disc flat against the pad before pressing to seat the hook-and-loop connection fully. Inspect the disc before each use and remove from service if tearing, delamination, or uneven wear is observed. Operate within the maximum RPM rating of the tool and disc to prevent disc failure.
