Forney Industries 71748 Sanding Disc 80 Grit 3 in 25 Pack

Product Description

The Forney Industries 71748 is a quick-change sanding disc designed for fast material removal and surface preparation on metal, welds, and other workpiece surfaces. At 3 inches in diameter and rated 80 grit, this disc delivers an aggressive cut suitable for deburring, blending welds, and removing rust or scale. The quick-change mount allows rapid disc swaps without tools, reducing downtime during grinding and finishing operations. Each package contains 25 discs, making it a practical shop supply for fabrication, maintenance, and repair environments.

This sanding disc is well suited for metal fabrication shops, welding operations, and general industrial maintenance work. The 80-grit rating positions it for coarse to medium stock removal rather than final finishing passes. It is commonly used on angle grinders or rotary tools equipped with a compatible quick-change backing pad. Electricians, pipefitters, welders, and general maintenance technicians frequently use discs in this class for prep work ahead of coating, inspection, or assembly.
