Forney Industries 71745 Quick Change Sanding Disc 80 Grit

Product Description

The Forney Industries 71745 is a quick change sanding disc designed for fast material removal and surface preparation in metalworking and fabrication applications. Measuring 2 inches in diameter and carrying an 80 grit abrasive, this disc is suited for grinding welds, removing rust, deburring edges, and blending surface imperfections on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The quick change mount allows rapid disc swaps without additional tools, reducing downtime during production or repair work. Each package contains 25 discs, making it a practical shop supply for welders, fabricators, and metal finishing technicians who go through abrasives regularly.

This sanding disc is intended for use with compatible quick change disc holders and die grinders in professional fabrication shops, maintenance environments, and field repair settings. The 80 grit rating places it in the medium-abrasive range, appropriate for initial surface blending after welding, light rust removal, and prep work before painting or coating. It is well suited to both production work and one-off repair jobs where consistent stock removal and surface finish quality are required.
