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 exact model features a pressure sensitive adhesive backing that sticks firmly to backup pads or steel platens, ensuring efficient sanding and easy removal.
Its design supports quick replacement during work, making it a practical choice for professionals who need consistent performance. The 348D model is well-suited for various sanding tools, including disc sanders and random orbital sanders.
Durable X-Weight Backing
This sanding disc uses a 40 X-weight cloth backing, which is known for its durability and resistance to tearing. The cloth backing supports aggressive sanding tasks without edge wear, extending the disc’s usable life.
Such a backing is ideal for tough applications where the disc must hold up under pressure. It helps maintain consistent sanding quality on metal and other hard surfaces.
