The open-web fiber runs cool and resists loading while the
aluminum oxide abrasives provide a high cut-rate for consistent
finishing. The 3M? Roloc? attachment system offers quick and easy
disc change-out, making the Roloc? Surface Conditioning Disc ideal
for a range of tasks including blending, deburring, and
finishing.
Aluminum oxide is a popular choice among industrial
professionals because of its cut-rate and long life. This mineral
is a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh
cutting edges in use, whereas traditional abrasives, such as
garnet, quickly wear down with use. Due to its high cut-rate,
hardness, strength, and low heat retention, aluminum oxide mineral
is widely used in grinding applications in addition to sanding and
finishing use. Aluminum oxide is suitable on a wide variety of
substrates in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous
alloys.
Scotch-Brite? surface conditioning products are developed with
abrasives incorporated into non-woven nylon or synthetic fibers.
Combining abrasives with the fibers creates an abrasive system that
delivers consistent results for the life of the product. The
open-web material runs cool, reducing the risk of part
discoloration and warping. The fibers are load resistant and keep
the abrasive minerals cutting at high performance by limiting
clogging of the fibers, which also extends the life of the
disc.
3M? Roloc? TR quick change discs are smaller discs that have a
plastic threaded button or screw designed to easily and quickly
screw onto a Roloc? TR disc pad (sold separately) so that you can
conveniently change discs with a simple twist-off, twist-on motion.
The Roloc TR system provides a secure attachment even for
heavy-duty applications, and the variety of available 3M? Roloc?
discs allows swapping from one application to the next in
seconds.
