3M 7100160277 Sanding Screen Disc 80 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100160277 is a silicon carbide sanding screen disc designed for finish-stage sanding and scuff sanding between coats. Measuring 7.875 inches in diameter with a 0.1875-inch thickness, this disc bonds silicon carbide abrasive to an open mesh substrate. The open mesh construction reduces loading, meaning the disc stays cleaner and cuts more consistently over its service life compared to closed-coat alternatives. This disc is suited for finish carpenters, flooring contractors, and woodworking professionals who need controlled, consistent material removal without aggressive cutting action.

This sanding screen disc is used in the final stages of wood surface preparation, specifically for knocking down raised wood grain after a first finish coat and for scuffing between subsequent coats to promote adhesion. The 80 grit rating provides a medium-fine cut appropriate for smoothing without significant stock removal. Typical applications include hardwood flooring, interior woodwork, and cabinet finishing operations where surface quality between coats is critical.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive bonded to open mesh for reduced loading and consistent cut
• 80 grit rating suited for final grain leveling and inter-coat scuffing
• Open mesh construction extends disc life by resisting clogging
• 7.875-inch diameter fits standard disc sanders used in flooring and woodworking

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style sanding screen disc for standard 7.875-inch disc sanders used in residential and commercial woodworking and flooring finish applications.

Installation Notes

Secure the disc firmly to the sander backing pad before operation and confirm the pad diameter matches the disc size. Power down and unplug the sander before changing discs. Inspect the disc for tears or worn abrasive before each use and replace when cutting action becomes inconsistent. Follow applicable workplace dust control practices when sanding finished or painted surfaces.
