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.
3M PSA Cloth Disc
The 3M PSA Cloth Disc 348D offers a reliable sanding solution with its pressure sensitive adhesive backing. This backing sticks firmly to backup pads or steel platens, making it easy to apply and remove for quick disc changes.
Designed for efficiency, this model 348D disc is part of 3M's trusted line, ensuring consistent performance in various sanding tasks. Its adhesive system supports fast replacement, saving time during projects.
Durable 60 X-weight Backing
The 60 X-weight cloth backing on this disc provides durability for tough sanding jobs. It resists tearing and edge wear, allowing for aggressive use without compromising the disc’s integrity.
This backing supports heavy-duty applications, making the 2 in x NH disc suitable for demanding surfaces. Its strength helps maintain sanding quality over extended use.
Fast Cutting Aluminum Oxide
Equipped with aluminum oxide abrasive, the disc cuts quickly and lasts longer than many alternatives. This abrasive is ideal for metal and woodworking, offering a fast cut rate and self-sharpening properties.
Aluminum oxide’s toughness makes it perfect for grinding, deburring, and finishing metal parts. The 200P grade ensures effective material removal while maintaining disc life.
Heat-Resistant Resin Bond
The resin bond on the 3M PSA Cloth Disc 348D protects it from heat damage during sanding. This heat resistance extends the disc’s lifespan, even under high-pressure or high-temperature conditions.
This feature is especially useful for heavy-duty sanding where friction generates heat. The bond keeps abrasive particles secure, maintaining consistent performance throughout use.
