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 is designed for heavy-duty sanding tasks. This model features a high-strength pressure sensitive adhesive backing that sticks firmly to backup pads or steel platens, making it easy to apply and remove.
Its pressure sensitive adhesive system allows quick replacement, saving time during sanding jobs. The 348D model is a reliable choice for professionals needing efficient disc changes without hassle.
Durable X-Weight Backing
This sanding disc uses an 80 X-weight cloth backing, which supports aggressive applications without tearing or edge wear. The durable cloth ensures the disc holds up well under tough conditions.
The X-weight backing is ideal for heavy sanding and grinding, providing strength and flexibility. It helps maintain disc integrity during demanding jobs, extending the tool’s useful life.
Size And Format Details
The disc measures 10 inches in diameter and features a NH arbor hole size, fitting many standard disc sanders. This size is versatile for various metalworking and woodworking tasks.
Sold in cases of 10 discs, this pack count supports ongoing projects without frequent reordering. The 10 in x NH format ensures compatibility with common sanding equipment.
Aluminum Oxide Abrasive
Equipped with aluminum oxide abrasive, the 3M 348D disc cuts fast and lasts long. This mineral is popular for its toughness and ability to self-fracture, exposing fresh cutting edges during use.
Aluminum oxide works well on many surfaces, including ferrous metals. Its fast cut-rate and durability make it suitable for grinding, deburring, and finishing metal parts efficiently.
Heat-Resistant Resin Bond
The resin bond on this disc protects it from heat damage, extending its life during heavy sanding. This heat-resistant bond keeps the abrasive securely attached even under high pressure and temperature.
This feature makes the 3M PSA Cloth Disc 348D a good choice for applications involving high heat. It maintains performance and durability in tough working conditions.
