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 when needed.
Designed for heavy-duty applications, the 3M PSA Cloth Disc 348D is a trusted choice for professionals who need a sanding disc that performs well and removes cleanly without leaving residue behind.
Durable X-weight Backing
This sanding disc features an 80 X-weight cloth backing, which provides durability and resistance to tearing or edge wear. This backing supports aggressive sanding tasks, making it suitable for tough surfaces and extended use.
The cloth backing enhances the disc’s lifespan and stability, allowing users to handle demanding jobs without worrying about premature damage or failure during sanding.
Compact Size Format
The disc measures 3/4 inch in diameter with a NH die 75K hole pattern, making it compatible with various sanding tools. This size is ideal for detailed work and precision sanding on smaller surfaces or parts.
Its compact dimensions allow for easy handling and control, especially in tight or intricate spaces where larger discs might be cumbersome or less effective.
Aluminum Oxide Abrasive
Equipped with aluminum oxide abrasive, the 3M PSA Cloth Disc 348D cuts fast and lasts longer than many alternatives. This abrasive is known for its toughness and ability to self-fracture, exposing fresh cutting edges during use.
This makes the disc suitable for a wide range of materials, including metal and wood, and supports both wet and dry sanding applications for versatile performance.
