Description

The 3M 7000046745 Standard Abrasives Quick Change Disc is a 3-inch maroon non-woven abrasive disc made for light-duty deburring, blending, and surface cleaning on a variety of metals. As a Standard Abrasives Quick Change Disc, it combines an open-web nylon construction with aluminum oxide mineral to produce an aggressive-but-forgiving cut while preserving part geometry. This 3M Non-Woven Abrasive Disc is suitable for finishing and removing minor defects from stainless steel, aluminum, high nickel/chrome alloys, and common ferrous materials. The quick-change hub (TS system) allows for secure attachment and tool-free or twist-off swapping, which increases operator uptime and simplifies grade changes. The open-web design resists loading and allows swarf to escape, extending service life and ensuring consistent cutting performance across batches. Maroon GP material is moderately aggressive, with a balance of cut and finish, making it an excellent starting point for a variety of industrial cleaning and deburring tasks. This 3M Abrasive Disc for Stainless Steel is ideal for light industrial and maintenance applications that require a compact, dependable quick-change disc that produces consistent results. Fabricators, welders, maintenance technicians, and toolroom staff are typical users who require a dependable non-woven buff and blend disc.

Product Features and Benefits

Moderately aggressive maroon GP material

The maroon GP formulation provides an effective balance of cut and finish for light deburring and cleaning without gouging parts. This makes it suitable for prepping surfaces prior to coating or for final touch-up operations.

Open-web non-woven construction

The 3M Non-Woven Abrasive Disc features an open nylon web that lets swarf escape and reduces loading, extending useful disc life while maintaining a consistent finish. The flexible web conforms to contours and radii to work internal diameters and complex geometries.

Aluminum oxide abrasive for versatile metal use

Aluminum oxide mineral delivers steady cutting performance across ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including stainless steel and aluminum. The abrasive resists premature glazing, helping maintain consistent removal rates over the disc life.

Quick-change TS attachment for fast swaps

The Standard Abrasives Quick Change Disc TS quick-change hub secures the disc at speed and allows for rapid grade changes on the tool, increasing shop throughput. Compared to traditional adhesive-backed discs, operators save time by removing and installing them without the use of tools.

Low risk of surface marring

Non-woven buff and blend action reduces the chance of gouging while blending welds, removing oxidation, and cleaning surfaces. Ideal for finishing tasks where part geometry must be preserved and a professional surface is required.
