This 3M fibre disc is suitable for a variety of general-purpose metalworking applications, such as weld removal, deburring and blending

Featuring an impressive ceramic abrasive blend, the 977F disc is built for outstanding cutting performance and is suited for mild and stainless steels. The blend offers a continuous cutting action and coupled with reinforced edges, which adds durability where edgework is needed. The heavyweight backing supports wet and dry applications. The 977F discs abrasives allow for reducing grinding temperatures for processes involving heat-sensitive alloys.

• Stiff fibre backing and strong resin bond provide durability and tear resistance during heavyweight applications alumina-zirconia abrasive on a fibre backing that’s closed-coated and resin bonded
• Ideal for grinding and finishing weld seams on all metals.
• Buy disc pad face plates and fibre discs separately

Fibre sanding discs are designed to be fitted to appropriate backing pads and then attached to angle grinders. Handheld angle grinders are ideal for machining metal. These heavy-duty fibre discs 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.

These fibre discs are not recommended to be used on wood and are suited to metalworking.

What safety requirements should I observe?

When grinding metal or sanding, appropriate Personal protection equipment should be worn. Gloves, eye protection and even respiratory protection are essential PPE for general purpose grinding and polishing applications.
