Abrasive Fibre Disc 3M Cubitron II 982C 180 x 22 mm P60, pack of 25

3M Cubitron II 982C abrasive fibre discs, size 180 x 22 mm with P60 grit, are designed for demanding metalworking tasks. These fibre discs combine a ceramic abrasive grain formulation with a robust backing to deliver high cut rates and consistent material removal on angle grinders and sanding machines. Supplied as a pack of 25, the discs are intended for professional and industrial applications such as rust and paint removal, weld preparation and heavy stock removal while maintaining predictable performance and a controlled finish.

Advantages

The Cubitron II ceramic grain provides an efficient cutting action that reduces grinding time and extends disc life compared with conventional abrasives. The 180 mm diameter and 22 mm centre hole are compatible with many common grinder flanges, enabling stable mounting and even pressure distribution. P60 grit offers an aggressive balance of stock removal and surface conditioning, allowing rapid removal of scale, paint and weld spatter while producing a surface suitable for subsequent finishing operations.

Suitable for

• Heavy metal grinding and stock removal on steel and stainless steel
• Rust, paint and coating removal prior to repainting or welding
• Weld dressing, seam blending and bevel preparation
• Surface preparation for corrosion protection or primer application
• Use on angle grinders and compatible sanding machines

How to use

Select the appropriate grinder and flange that match the 180 x 22 mm disc dimensions and ensure the machine is disconnected from power before mounting. Fit the disc securely to the grinder following the tool manufacturer's instructions, observe correct rotational direction, and check for runout or damage before use. During grinding, apply steady, moderate pressure, keeping the disc flat or at the recommended angle to the workpiece to maintain consistent cut and avoid rapid wear. Allow the abrasive to do the cutting—excessive force can reduce disc life and increase heat build-up.

Recommendations

Always use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, face shield, gloves and hearing protection. Ensure adequate ventilation or dust extraction when removing paint, rust or coatings. Inspect each disc before use for cracks, contamination or improper seating. Store discs flat in a dry environment and rotate stock to use older discs first to maintain consistent performance.
