3M PSA Cloth Disc 348D is a heavy-duty sanding disc that features a high-strength pressure sensitive adhesive backing that adheres to a backup pad or a steel platen for an efficient application and clean removal.

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 feature allows the disc to stick firmly to a backup pad or steel platen, ensuring efficient use and quick replacement.

Designed for heavy-duty sanding, the 348D model is built to handle tough applications. Its adhesive backing simplifies the process, making it easy to switch discs during work without hassle.

Durable X-Weight Backing

This sanding disc features an 80 X-weight cloth backing that supports aggressive sanding without tearing or edge wear. The durable cloth backing is essential for maintaining disc integrity during demanding tasks.

With its strong backing, the disc performs well on various surfaces, providing consistent results. This makes it suitable for both metalworking and woodworking projects requiring robust materials.

Size And Format Details

The disc measures 12 inches in diameter and includes a NH (non-hole) format, making it compatible with many sanding tools. These dimensions ensure a broad sanding surface for efficient material removal.

Packaged as 10 discs per case, this format supports ongoing projects by providing enough discs for multiple uses. The size and format make it a practical choice for professionals and hobbyists alike.

Aluminum Oxide Abrasive

Equipped with aluminum oxide abrasive, the 3M PSA Cloth Disc 348D cuts fast and lasts long. This abrasive type is favored for its ability to self-fracture, exposing fresh edges for continued cutting efficiency.

Its versatility allows it to work well on various materials, including ferrous alloys. The abrasive's fast cut rate and durability make it ideal for grinding, deburring, and finishing metal parts.

Heat-Resistant Resin Bond

The disc uses a resin bond that protects it from heat damage, extending its lifespan during heavy-duty sanding. This bond maintains stability even under high heat or pressure conditions.

This heat resistance makes the disc suitable for wet and dry applications, ensuring consistent performance. It’s a dependable choice for tasks that generate significant friction and heat.
