3M Cubitron™ II D-Paper, 115mm x 22mm Thick, Fine Grade, P120 Grit, 3M™ Cubitron™ II 987C, 25 in pack

The 3M™ Cubitron™ II Fibre Disc 987C contains a 3M Precision Shaped Grain engineered to offer up to twice the cut-rate, surpassing other conventional discs in both performance and longevity. The Cubitron™ II Fibre Disc is designed for working with heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel. It maximises cutting effectiveness while minimising grinding pressure and operator fatigue.

The fibre disc features 3M Precision Shaped Grain which forms into triangularly shaped grains that are electrostatically positioned onto the backing. The grains then act as individual cutting tools, reducing metal discoloration with extreme efficiency. It allows the disc to last significantly longer than conventional grain abrasives while maintaining a high cut through rate.

The 3M™ Cubitron™ II 987C outperforms conventional ceramic discs by staying cooler on heat-sensitive metals. This fibre wheel is well-suited to edge chamfering, machining grooves, removing steel welds and more.

• Engineered to cut faster and last longer than competitive ceramic products
• Stiff fibre backing and strong resin bond provide durability and tear resistance during heavyweight applications
• Contains 3M Precision Shaped Grain which runs significantly cooler and longer than rival products, completing more parts per disc for fewer disc changes
• Incorporated grinding aid reduces grinding temperatures on heat-sensitive alloys, increasing longevity
• Rigid hub offers firm support to fibre disc faceplate
• Buy disc pad face plates and fibre discs separately

These heavy-duty fibre discs are used as grinding discs, and are great for weld removals, grinding and blending large and small metal areas. This could occur in industries such as farm and construction, automotive, ship and boat building, metal fabrication.

Combined with a suitable backing pad, they are typically used with angle grinders or disc cutters, offering portable solutions for cutting through many different types of material, depending on the construction of the disc.

Grinding discs are not to be confused with cutting discs, as using the wrong grade of disc for grinder applications can result in damage to your tools and in extreme cases damage to your person.

3M™ Cubitron™ II Fibre Discs provide a faster cut and a long life, making them ideal for a large volume of productive applications.

No, fibre discs are not recommended to be used on wood, only metals.

Regardless of what kind of cutting wheel or grinding wheel you choose, and for whichever application, be sure to equip appropriate PPE such as eye protection, hand protection and possibly respiratory protection. 3M has an extensive selection of personal protective equipment to choose from.
These are available from RS.
