3M Hookit Clean Sanding Disc 236U – Hook and Loop Attachment – For Vacuum Sanders – Metal, Composite, Fiberglass – P150 Grit, C-Weight Backing – 3″ – 555200
Style:Grade: P150 3M Hookit Clean Sanding Disc 236U
features a 3M proprietary multi-hole pattern that evacuates dust better than
5- or 6-hole products — dramatically increasing disc life. The design achieves
an ideal balance between the abrasive surface and dust extraction holes to
maximize cut and optimize the life of the disc. From the Manufacturer The 3M™
Clean Sanding Disc 236U offers superior dust control, aggressive cut, and long
life on a premium aluminum oxide disc with a durable edge and convenient
Hookit attachment. It features a 3M proprietary multi-hole Clean Sanding
pattern that evacuates dust better than 5- or 6-hole products — dramatically
increasing disc life. 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. Choose this disc for blending and finishing on
aluminum and carbon steel, and for woodworking applications such as heavy and
medium stock removal and finishing on hardwoods, softwoods, and composites.
This disc also works well on primer, paint, sealers, topcoats, fiberglass, and
plastics. 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™ Clean Sanding 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. Reducing dust is
easier than ever with 3M Clean Sanding discs. The 3M proprietary multi-hole
pattern on Clean Sanding products evacuates dust at a higher rate that 5- or
6-hole products. The multi-hole pattern achieves an ideal balance between the
abrasive surface and dust extraction holes to maximize cut and optimize the
life of the disc. This hole design doesn’t even require alignment of holes
with the disc pad, making disc changes quick and simple. 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.
Clean Sanding 236U discs also feature a load-resistant coating that 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. 3M Clean Sanding discs come with a 3M™ Hookit™ attachment. A
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. For more than a century, 3M has applied innovation and
technology to improving our customers’ lives and supporting their business
goals. Today the company, from its headquarters in St. Paul, Minnesota, serves
industrial and commercial customers and consumers in nearly 200 countries.
Abrasive Systems products, including a complete line of coated abrasives,
microfinishing and microreplicated abrasives, and hardware accessories,
provide the finishing touch for almost any surface modification application.
The 3M brand, across thousands of products, represents consistency, superior
quality, and value.
