3M 782C Ceramic Sanding Disc, 180mm, Coarse Grade, P36 Grit, 25 in pack

3M™ Fibre Disc 782C 3M™ 782C fibre disc contains a 3M Precision Shaped Grain (PSG). Revolutionary engineered to offer up to twice the cut-rate surpassing other conventional discs in both performance and longevity lasting up to 6 times longer. A grinding aid is incorporated to keep the disc cool and further prolonging the disc life. It features a high-performance fibre backing allows for easy removal and cleaning but for optimal performance its recommended to use a backing pad.Using the 3M™ 782C outperforms conventional ceramic discs. Designed to be used with a 3M™ backing pad with an angle grinder or sander. This fibre wheel is well-suited for edge chamfering bevelling, deburring and weld removal on mostly carbon steel. Unique Construction The unique construction of the 782C is the perfect solution for the most challenging applications. Constructed by a stiff fibre backing and the 3M™ Ceramic Abrasive Grain blend is resin bonded to provide durability and enhanced tear resistance against the toughest applications. The added grinding aid allows for work on heat-sensitive alloys without warping the workpiece. Optimised Cutting Using 3M™ precision-shaped grain technology to offer a higher initial and durability to outlast conventional ceramic fibre discs. The grit wears evenly and with the abrasive staying cooler and sharper, the PSG abrasive lasts significantly longer than conventional ceramic discs. These discs will help to step up production with an improved output on both light and heavy stock removal. Features and Benefits • Cuts hard and fast to grind metals like stainless steel and high nickel alloys• 3M Precision Shaped Grain yields higher cut rates and excels at heavyweight applications• Grinding aid minimises grinding temperatures for heat-sensitive alloys• Reduce costs with long-lasting abrasive - completes more parts than conventional discs• Durable and tear resistant Typical Applications The 3M™ 782C heavy-duty fibre discs are great for weld removals, grinding and blending large and small metal areas. This could occur in industries such as farm and construction, automotive, ship and boat building, metal fabrication. FAQs How do I know which fibre disc to use on what substrate?The 782C disc is for use on carbon steel, the 787C is used for stainless steel and other non-ferrous alloys such as aluminium and titanium (Sold at RS Components).Would you be able to use these discs on wood?These abrasive discs are designed for use on metals and are not recommended to be used on wood. What safety requirements should I observe? When grinding metal or sanding, appropriate personal protection equipment should be worn. Gloves, eye protection and even respiratory protection are essential PPE for general purpose grinding and polishing applications. For safe operation of an angle grinder, be sure you have participated in appropriate training and are aware of all safety advice relevant to the material you are working on.
