3M 7100176086 Scotch-brite Xc-dc Disc 4 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7100176086 is a Scotch-Brite XC-DC Clean and Strip XT Pro Extra Cut Disc built for aggressive surface preparation. It combines aluminum oxide abrasive mineral with an open nylon web construction that cuts through heavy rust, thick paint, and corrosion quickly while exposing bare metal underneath. The highly conformable, high-strength fiber structure resists chunking and loading, delivering consistent cutting action across flat surfaces and edges. This disc is rated for high-speed use and produces low vibration, making it a reliable choice for surface prep before welding, coating, or bonding operations. Licensed trades and fabricators install and operate this disc as part of standard surface preparation workflows.

This disc is suited for industrial and trade applications where aggressive material removal is required on metal surfaces. It is commonly used in metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and field service environments. Typical tasks include stripping mill scale, removing weld spatter, cleaning corroded surfaces, and preparing bare metal for primer or coating. The 4-inch diameter and 1/4-inch arbor mount make it compatible with standard right-angle grinders and disc tools used in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide mineral aggressively removes rust, thick paint, and corrosion down to bare metal
• Open nylon web construction resists loading for consistent, sustained cutting action
• High conformability increases contact patch area for faster removal rates on contoured surfaces
• High-strength fibers resist chunking and perform reliably on edges and corners
• High-speed rated with low vibration for extended operator comfort
• 4-inch diameter with 1/4-inch arbor fits standard right-angle grinders

Compatibility

Designed for use on metal surfaces requiring heavy rust removal, paint stripping, corrosion removal, and weld cleaning. Fits right-angle grinders and disc tools accepting a 1/4-inch arbor mount.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with angle grinder safety practices. Ensure the grinder is rated for the disc speed before mounting. Disconnect the tool from power before installing or removing the disc. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, gloves, and a face shield when operating abrasive discs at high speed.
