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 when replacing discs.
Designed for efficiency, this model ensures quick changes during work, helping maintain productivity. The 3M brand is known for quality, and the 348D model continues that tradition with durable construction.
Durable X-Weight Backing
This sanding disc features a 60 X-weight cloth backing, which supports tough sanding jobs without tearing or edge wear. The cloth backing is built to handle aggressive applications, extending the disc's usable life.
Such durability is essential when working on demanding surfaces, ensuring the disc holds up during heavy use. The X-weight backing also helps maintain consistent sanding performance throughout the job.
Versatile Size And Format
The disc measures 3 inches in diameter and fits NH (non-hole) sanding machines, making it suitable for various tools. This size is common for detail work and smaller surface areas, offering precision and control.
Its format as a PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) disc means it can be used on random orbital sanders or stationary disc sanders, providing flexibility across different sanding setups.
Fast Cutting Abrasive
Aluminum oxide abrasive is used in this disc, known for its fast cutting ability and long life. This mineral self-fractures to expose fresh edges, keeping the disc sharp and effective during use.
Ideal for metalworking and woodworking, the abrasive works well on ferrous alloys and various surfaces. Its closed coat design helps with grinding, deburring, blending, and finishing tasks.
Large Pack Quantity
This product comes in a pack of 50 discs, with 200 discs per case, making it suitable for high-volume use. Buying in bulk ensures you have enough discs on hand for extended projects or multiple jobs.
The pack size supports cost efficiency and reduces downtime by minimizing the need for frequent reordering. It’s a practical choice for professionals who require consistent sanding supplies.
