3M 7100145316 Hook Loop Sanding Disc 240 Grit 6 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100145316 is a 6-inch hook-and-loop sanding film disc engineered for high-efficiency stock removal on a wide range of substrates. It uses 3M Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain, a triangular mineral designed to slice through material rather than gouge or plow like conventional abrasives. The result is a disc rated to cut up to 2x faster and last up to 6x longer than standard abrasive discs. The film backing adds tear resistance and helps the disc hold its edge under heavy use. At 240 grit, this disc is suited for finish sanding passes where controlled material removal and surface consistency are the priority.

This disc is designed for sanding operations focused primarily on stock removal across a variety of substrates including painted surfaces, bare metal, plastics, and composites. The precise multi-hole pattern integrated into the disc face promotes active dust extraction, keeping the work surface clear and reducing loading. The hook-and-loop attachment system allows fast disc changes without tools, making it a practical choice for production environments or fieldwork where downtime matters. It is commonly used by auto body technicians, finish carpenters, and industrial fabricators.

Key Features

• 3M Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain technology cuts up to 2x faster than conventional abrasives
• Ceramic mineral lasts up to 6x longer than standard abrasive discs
• Film backing provides greater tear resistance and sustained edge retention
• Hook-and-loop attachment allows quick, tool-free disc changes
• Precise multi-hole pattern supports superior dust extraction and reduces loading
• Suitable for a wide range of substrates with a focus on stock removal

Compatibility

Designed for use with 6-inch hook-and-loop random orbital and orbital sanders equipped with a compatible multi-hole dust extraction backing pad.

Installation Notes

Ensure the sanding tool is powered off and unplugged before mounting or removing the disc. Align the disc holes with the backing pad holes to maintain effective dust extraction. Inspect the hook-and-loop backing pad regularly for wear, as a degraded pad surface will reduce disc adhesion and increase the risk of disc separation during use. Dispose of spent discs per local regulations for abrasive materials.
