Grit Type:P500 | Size:Diameter : 3 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.
