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 Model
The 3M PSA Cloth Disc 348D is a reliable sanding disc designed for heavy-duty use. This model features a high-strength pressure sensitive adhesive backing that sticks firmly to backup pads or steel platens, ensuring efficient sanding and easy removal.
Its pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) system allows quick replacement, making it ideal for professionals who need fast, clean changes during projects. The 348D model is known for its durability and strong adhesion in demanding applications.
Durable 36 X-weight Backing
This sanding disc uses a 36 X-weight cloth backing, which supports aggressive sanding without tearing or edge wear. The durable cloth backing enhances the disc’s lifespan, even under tough conditions.
The X-weight backing is perfect for heavy-duty applications where strength and resistance to damage matter. It helps maintain consistent performance when sanding metal or other hard surfaces.
Precise 2 Inch Size
The disc measures 2 inches in diameter with a NH arbor hole, making it compatible with many disc sanders and backup pads. This size is convenient for detailed work and fits well on various sanding tools.
Its compact 2-inch dimension allows for precise control and access to smaller or intricate areas, which is useful for finishing and blending metal parts or surfaces.
Effective Die 200P Grade
The 3M Cloth Disc 348D comes in a Die 200P grade, providing a fine abrasive surface for smooth sanding results. This grade balances cutting speed with finish quality, suitable for metalworking tasks.
Using the 200P grade disc helps achieve clean deburring and blending on metal parts, making it a versatile choice for finishing and surface preparation in various projects.
Convenient 50 Per Bag
Each bag contains 50 discs, and the full case includes 200 discs, offering ample supply for ongoing sanding needs. This pack size supports efficient workflow without frequent reordering.
Having 50 discs per bag ensures you have enough discs for multiple jobs or large projects, reducing downtime and keeping your sanding process smooth and continuous.
