3M(TM) HookitTM Paper D/F Disc 236U, C-Weight, Hook and Loop Attachment, Aluminum Oxide, 6 Diameter, P320 Grit, Gold, Pack of 50

Product Description 3M Hookit Paper Disc 236U offers aggressive cut and long life on a premium aluminum oxide disc with a durable edge and convenient Hookit attachment. A go-to product in many industrial operations, this durable disc is well suited for high production sanding operations as well as general purpose applications on paint, primer, wood, metal, plastic, and composites, including fiberglass. From the Manufacturer The 3M™ Hookit™ Paper D/F Disc 236U offers aggressive cut, long life, and 6-hole dust control on a premium aluminum oxide disc with a durable edge and convenient Hookit attachment. A go-to product in many industrial operations, this durable disc is well suited for high production sanding operations as well as general purpose applications on paint, primer, wood, metal, plastic, and composites, including fiberglass. Designed for use with a random orbital sander, the strong C-weight paper backing resists tearing and edgewear during aggressive sanding, and the disc is resin-bonded for heat-resistance, further increasing life and cut. These discs also feature an open coat and a load-resistant coating to enhance dust management and cut-rate. To achieve maximum dust extraction, use this disc with a 3M™ Hookit™ D/F Disc Pad and a 3M™ Random Orbital Sander with vacuum (both sold separately). Sandpaper discs cut better and last longer when dust isn’t loading the cutting surface of the abrasives. The 6-hole dust-management system uses a series of evenly-spaced holes in the abrasive that are aligned with the holes in the disc pad. Suction via a vacuum system is drawn through the holes to collect dust from the air and workpiece, for improved working conditions disc performance, and overall productivity. A load-resistant coating allows the disc to continue cutting even when sanding softwoods, paints, and other materials that would, otherwise, clog the surface of the disc and hinder sanding ability. Loading is further reduced by an open coat, which means the abrasive grains are spaced slightly apart so that dust can escape rather than obstructing the cutting edge of the grains, thereby optimizing cut-rate and disc life. Sanding discs come in a variety of forms to fit various power tools and disc pads. A 3M™ Hookit™ Disc conveniently and firmly attaches to a hook-and-loop backup disc pad (sold separately) on a random orbital sander. Hookit discs are quick and easy to change when switching from one grade to another, and can be reused again and again for the extent of the disc life (whereas adhesive-backed discs are typically discarded after one use because the adhesive backing will not re-adhere a second time). Aluminum oxide 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, whereas traditional natural abrasives dull more quickly. Due to its fast cut-rate, hardness, and strength, it is 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.
