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 Disc
The 3M PSA Cloth Disc 348D offers reliable performance with its brand reputation and exact model number. This sanding disc is designed for professionals who need consistent results in demanding tasks.
Featuring the 348D model, it ensures compatibility with various sanding tools and applications. The PSA backing makes it easy to attach and remove from backup pads, improving workflow efficiency.
Durable 36 X-weight Backing
This disc uses a 36 X-weight cloth backing, which supports tough sanding jobs without tearing or edge wear. The durable cloth backing is essential for aggressive applications that require long-lasting materials.
The X-weight backing also helps maintain disc shape and stability during use, making it suitable for heavy-duty sanding on metal and other surfaces. It stands up well to pressure and repeated use.
Precise 16 Inch Size
The 16 inch diameter of the disc fits standard large sanding machines, providing ample surface area for efficient sanding. This size is ideal for working on bigger metal parts or surfaces that need fast material removal.
With a 16 in x NH format, the disc matches common sanding equipment specifications, ensuring a secure fit and smooth operation. This size balances coverage and control for various industrial tasks.
Effective Die 1600Z Format
The Die 1600Z format refers to the disc’s specific cut and shape, designed to optimize sanding performance. This format helps the disc maintain contact with surfaces evenly, improving finish quality.
Using the Die 1600Z format, the disc is versatile for deburring, blending, and cleaning metal parts. It works well with random orbital or stationary disc sanders, enhancing its usability across tools.
Convenient 10 Ea Case
This product comes in a pack of 10 discs per case, providing good value and supply for ongoing projects. Having multiple discs on hand reduces downtime caused by frequent replacements.
The 10 ea/case packaging is practical for workshops and industrial settings, ensuring users have enough discs for extended use. It supports efficient inventory management and cost control.
