3M 7100169187 Hookita Disc 6 Inch 60 Grit Ceramic Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7100169187 is a Hookita-style hook-and-loop abrasive disc engineered for aggressive material removal in collision repair and surface preparation workflows. Built on E-weight paper backing, the disc combines ceramic and aluminum oxide abrasive in an open-coat construction bonded with resin for durability and heat resistance. At 6 inches in diameter and 60 grit, it delivers a coarse cut suited to rapid stock removal. Licensed trades and auto body technicians reach for this disc when fast cutting and extended disc life both matter on the same job.

This disc is designed for surface preparation tasks common in collision repair environments. It excels at shaping plastic body filler and glazing putty, stripping paint down to bare metal, and refining deep scratches before finish work. The open-coat construction minimizes loading when working with soft materials like filler and putty, keeping cut rate consistent through the disc life. It is sized for standard 6-inch random-orbit and orbital sanders equipped with a Hookita hook-and-loop interface.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide blend abrasive for fast cut rate and extended disc life
• E-weight paper backing provides rigidity and heat resistance under sustained use
• Open-coat construction reduces dust loading when sanding filler, putty, and paint
• Hookita hook-and-loop attachment system allows quick disc changes without tools
• 60 grit coarse grade suited to material removal, paint stripping, and filler shaping

Compatibility

Designed for use with 6-inch random-orbit and orbital sanders fitted with a Hookita hook-and-loop backup pad interface.

Installation Notes

Mounting and removal require no tools — align the disc face to the backup pad and press firmly to seat the hook-and-loop interface before operating the sander. Inspect the backup pad for worn hooks before mounting a fresh disc, as a degraded pad reduces holding force and can cause disc release during use. Always wear appropriate respiratory protection and eye protection when sanding, and operate the sander within the RPM rating printed on the disc or packaging.
