Our 3M PSA Cloth Disc 348D features a heat-resistant resin bond and cloth backing that make this sanding disc a good choice for high heat and heavy duty sanding applications. Aluminum oxide particles in a closed coat offer a fast cut for grinding and dual action (D/A) sanding on metal. This versatile disc provides a fast, efficient method for deburring, blending, cleaning up, and finishing metal parts and surfaces of various sizes and shapes.
PSA or pressure-sensitive adhesive disc is pressed onto a backup pad (also called a disc pad and sold separately) that is attached to a disc sander, random orbital sander, or stationary disc sander.
We chose aluminum oxide abrasive, which is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its fast cut-rate and long life. This mineral makes a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges in use, whereas traditional abrasives such as garnet quickly wear down with use. Due to their fast cut-rate, hardness, strength, and low heat retention, they are widely used in grinding applications in addition to sanding and finishing applications. Aluminum oxide is suitable for a wide variety of materials in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.
Heat-resistant resin is a sturdy binding agent that adheres the abrasive to the backing and maintains the stability of the bond even in conditions of high heat or pressure.
Trusted 3M PSA Quality
The 3M PSA Cloth Disc 348D offers reliable performance with its pressure sensitive adhesive backing. This feature ensures the disc sticks firmly to a backup pad or steel platen, making it easy to apply and remove without residue.
Designed for efficiency, this model 348D from 3M is built to save time during sanding tasks. Its adhesive backing supports quick replacement, helping you maintain productivity on the job.
Durable X-Weight Backing
This sanding disc uses a 36 X-weight durable cloth backing that resists tearing and edge wear. The cloth backing supports aggressive sanding applications, making it suitable for tough jobs.
The 12 inch diameter and NH format provide a sturdy base for the abrasive, ensuring consistent performance. This backing choice extends the disc’s lifespan even under heavy use.
Fast Cutting Aluminum Oxide
Equipped with aluminum oxide abrasive, the 3M PSA Cloth Disc 348D cuts quickly and lasts longer than traditional abrasives. This mineral self-fractures to expose fresh edges, maintaining cutting efficiency.
Its Die 1200B grade offers a balance of speed and durability, ideal for grinding and dual action sanding on metal surfaces. This makes it a versatile tool for various metalworking tasks.
Heat-Resistant Resin Bond
The disc features a resin bond that protects it from heat damage during sanding. This heat-resistant bond keeps the abrasive securely attached, even under high pressure and temperature.
This protection extends the life of the disc, allowing it to perform well in heavy-duty sanding applications. It’s a smart choice for jobs that generate significant heat.
Convenient Pack Size Included
Each case contains 10 discs, providing a ready supply for ongoing projects. The pack size helps ensure you have enough discs on hand without frequent reordering.
The 12 in x NH format fits many standard sanding tools, making these discs easy to integrate into your existing setup. This pack is designed for both wet and dry sanding applications.
