3M 7100176140 Scotch-brite Xc-dc Non-woven Disc 6 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100176140 is a Scotch-Brite Clean and Strip XT Pro Extra Cut disc built for aggressive surface preparation work. The disc incorporates aluminum oxide abrasive mineral into an open nylon web construction, allowing it to remove heavy rust, thick paint, weld scale, and corrosion in a single pass while cutting down to bare metal underneath. At 6 inches in diameter with a 1/2 inch arbor, the disc mounts directly to angle grinders and die grinders used in metal fabrication, maintenance, and surface prep applications. The open web construction resists loading, and the high-strength fibers hold up on edges and contoured surfaces.

This disc is suited for metal surface preparation tasks in industrial maintenance, fabrication shops, and field service environments. Typical applications include stripping mill scale and corrosion from structural steel, cleaning welds prior to inspection or coating, and removing paint or sealant before refinishing. The conformable nylon web makes contact across irregular surfaces, increasing removal rates on curved or uneven workpieces. Licensed tradespeople in welding, pipefitting, and general metal work are the primary installers and users of this product.

Compatibility

Designed for use with angle grinders and die grinders accepting a 1/2 inch arbor and accommodating a 6 inch disc. Verify spindle speed rating meets or exceeds the disc maximum RPM before mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive disc safety practices. Always power down and disconnect the grinder before mounting or removing the disc. Confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the disc maximum speed rating, and inspect the disc for damage before each use. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when operating.
