3M 7100173798 Scotch-brite 4 Inch Clean and Strip Disc

Product Description

The 3M 7100173798 is a Scotch-Brite Clean and Strip XT Pro Disc designed for aggressive surface preparation on metal and other materials. Built with silicon carbide abrasive mineral bonded into an open nylon web, it removes rust, paint, mill scale, coatings, and adhesives without significantly undercutting or altering the base material. The 4-inch diameter disc is rated for high-speed operation and produces low vibration and low spark output. It is installed on angle grinders and die grinders by metalworkers, maintenance technicians, fabricators, and industrial trades professionals performing surface conditioning or coating removal work.

This disc is suited for surface preparation tasks in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial job sites. It excels at stripping coatings from steel, aluminum, and other metals prior to welding, painting, or protective coating application. The open nylon web construction resists loading, keeping the disc cutting consistently throughout its service life. Its high conformability increases contact patch area on irregular or contoured surfaces, improving removal rates on edges and profiles where flat media underperforms.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide mineral cuts aggressively and leaves a fine surface finish
• Open nylon web resists loading for consistent cutting action throughout use
• High-strength fibers resist chunking and perform well on workpiece edges
• High conformability increases contact patch for faster removal rates on contoured surfaces
• High speed rating with low vibration and low spark output
• Removes rust, paint, mill scale, coatings, and adhesives without significantly altering base material

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fit for 4-inch angle grinders and die grinders accepting disc-style surface conditioning attachments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by metalworkers or maintenance technicians using a compatible 4-inch angle grinder or die grinder. Power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before mounting or removing the disc. Confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the disc speed rating before operation. Eye protection, gloves, and appropriate respiratory protection should be used per applicable shop safety standards during surface conditioning work.
