3M 7100160839 Sanding Screen 60 Grit 17 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7100160839 is a 17-inch diameter sanding screen designed for heavy material removal and surface preparation on floors and large flat surfaces. Built with a silicon carbide abrasive bonded in resin, this medium-grit (60 grit) screen cuts aggressively through coatings, adhesives, and surface irregularities. It mounts to a standard floor machine or rotary buffer pad and is used by flooring contractors, maintenance crews, and tile setters during prep and finishing work. The brown mesh construction allows dust and debris to pass through, reducing loading and extending screen life during extended runs.

This sanding screen is suited for use on concrete, marble, stone, wood, and urethane-finished floors in both residential and commercial settings. It is commonly used during floor refinishing, surface leveling, and intercoat scuffing operations where consistent scratch patterns are needed before applying finish coats. At 60 grit, it is appropriate for initial cut-down passes on worn finishes or lightly uneven substrates before stepping up to finer grits.

Key Features

• 60 grit silicon carbide abrasive for medium-grade aggressive cutting
• 17-inch diameter fits standard floor buffer and rotary machine pads
• Open mesh construction reduces clogging and extends usable screen life
• Resin bond holds abrasive grain securely through full-contact floor machine use
• Suitable for concrete, marble, stone, wood, and urethane-finished surfaces

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 17-inch floor machines and rotary buffers commonly used in commercial and residential floor maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

This screen is installed by flooring and maintenance professionals using standard floor buffer equipment. Before use, ensure the drive pad and machine are in good condition and that the work area is clear of loose debris that could damage the screen or surface. Always operate floor machines according to the equipment manufacturer guidelines and applicable safety protocols. Inspect the screen before each pass and replace when the mesh shows visible breakdown or loss of abrasive.
