When you’ve doubled
your standard part count
with a single disc, you’ll
be tempted to get a new
disc. But keep grinding.
Some customers have seen up
to 5 times the life.
Triangular-shaped grain (right image) is electrostatically oriented to form sharp peaks,
each acting like individual cutting tools that slice through metal, wear evenly and provide
super-long life and consistency at any grinding pressure.

removes
as much
stock with
14 lbs
of force
as the
competitors
remove with
20 lbs
of force.
Engineered triangular shapes can’t be boxed into the screens used
for grading today. Precision-shaped grain is bigger, better, faster and
longer lasting than ANSI-graded abrasives thanks to the clean cut
provided by the sharp minerals that cut through metal.
You can count on 3M to meet or beat your current grinding process
time.
