Standard Abrasives 7000046842 Hook Loop Disc 5 in

Product Description

The STANDARD ABRASIVES 7000046842 is a 5-inch hook-and-loop abrasive disc built for surface conditioning, blending, and finishing work. Constructed with a non-woven aluminum oxide abrasive structure at a medium grade, this disc removes light oxidation, smooths weld seams, and preps metal or composite surfaces without aggressive stock removal. The flexible backing conforms to contoured surfaces, making it effective on irregular geometry as well as flat stock. It is rated to a maximum of 10,000 RPM, making it compatible with standard random orbital and right-angle finishing tools. Installers and fabricators in HVAC, electrical, and general metalwork trades keep this disc on hand for consistent surface prep results.

This disc is suited for light-to-medium surface conditioning tasks in both residential and commercial applications. Common uses include deburring metal edges, blending scratches before coating, removing mill scale, and prepping pipe or sheet metal for welding or painting. The maroon non-woven construction is a widely recognized grade for medium-cut finishing and light rust removal. Its hook-and-loop backing allows fast disc changes on compatible pad-style grinders and orbital tools, reducing downtime during production or field service work.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with hook-and-loop style random orbital sanders and right-angle grinders equipped with a compatible 5-inch hook-and-loop backup pad. No vacuum holes are included, so this disc is intended for open-face pad use without dust extraction through the disc.

Installation Notes

This disc is installed and replaced by metalworkers, fabricators, and trade technicians using standard hook-and-loop backup pads. Always confirm the tool and backup pad RPM rating meets or exceeds the 10,000 RPM disc rating before use. Ensure the tool is powered off and unplugged before mounting or removing the disc. Do not exceed the rated RPM and inspect the disc for tears or delamination before each use.
