3M 7100160822 Sanding Screen 180 Grit 16 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7100160822 is a 180-grit fine sanding screen designed for rotary floor machine applications. Constructed with a resin and silicon carbide abrasive bonded to an open mesh screen backing, it cuts aggressively while allowing dust to pass through, reducing loading and extending screen life. At 16 inches in diameter, this screen fits standard floor buffer and sanding machines used in flooring and surface prep work. Licensed flooring installers, restoration contractors, and surface prep crews are the primary installers of this product.

This sanding screen is suited for finish sanding and scuff-sanding operations on concrete, marble, stone, urethane finish, and wood surfaces. The 180-grit fine grade makes it appropriate for final prep passes before applying finish coats or for light stock removal between finish layers. It is packaged and sold as a single screen, making it easy to stock individual grits for multi-step floor finishing sequences.

Installation Notes

This screen is installed and used by flooring installers, restoration contractors, and surface prep professionals. Secure the screen properly to the drive pad of the floor machine before operation and confirm the machine is powered off before loading or changing screens. Always operate floor machines according to the manufacturer guidelines and applicable jobsite safety requirements. Wear appropriate respiratory protection when sanding, as fine dust from concrete, stone, and wood surfaces presents an inhalation hazard.
