3M 7100173795 Scotch-brite Roloc 3 Inch Strip Disc

Product Description

The 3M 7100173795 is a Scotch-Brite Roloc Clean and Strip XT Pro Disc designed for aggressive surface preparation on metal and other hard substrates. Silicon carbide abrasive mineral is incorporated into an open nylon web construction, allowing the disc to remove rust, paint, mill scale, coatings, and adhesives without significantly altering or undercutting the base material. At 3 inches in diameter and rated for up to 15,000 RPM, it is suited for use with compatible angle grinders and die grinders in fabrication, maintenance, and surface prep applications. Licensed trades including welders, machinists, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This disc is built for surface conditioning tasks in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and field service environments. The open nylon web construction resists loading, which extends disc life during continuous use on heavily oxidized or coated steel. Its high conformability allows the abrasive surface to make broader contact on curved or profiled workpiece edges, improving removal rates in tight or contoured areas. The Roloc quick-change attachment system allows fast disc swaps without additional hardware, reducing downtime during multi-step surface prep workflows.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide mineral provides aggressive cutting action with a fine surface finish
• Open nylon web construction resists loading and chunking during extended use
• High conformability increases contact area on curved surfaces and workpiece edges
• Rated to 15,000 RPM for use with compatible high-speed grinders
• Roloc quick-change attachment enables fast disc changes without tools
• Low vibration and low spark output suitable for controlled work environments
• Removes rust, paint, mill scale, coatings, and adhesives without undercutting base material

Compatibility

Requires a Roloc-compatible backup pad, sold separately. Designed for use with angle grinders and die grinders that accept 3-inch Roloc-style quick-change discs.

Installation Notes

Installation and disc changes must be performed with the grinder fully powered off and disconnected from the power source. Confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the disc RPM rating before mounting. Always inspect the disc for damage before use and wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves. Follow applicable ANSI and OSHA abrasive wheel safety standards when operating high-speed rotary abrasive tools.
