3M 1182C Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain Grinding Disc, 115 mm, 60 Grit 25

3M Cubitron 3 Series Fibre Disc, 115mm Disc Diameter, 60 Grit size - 7100349583

This Fibre disc is an industrial abrasive designed for aggressive metal stock removal in automated and manual grinding operations. It combines a precision-formed ceramic abrasive grain with a robust Fibre backing to deliver sustained cutting performance on carbon and stainless steels while operating at high peripheral speeds suited to angle grinders and bench-mounted systems.

Features & Benefits

• Precision-shaped ceramic grain increases sustained cut rate
  High-speed capability reduces cycle time at 13,300 rpm maximum
  Strong resin bond improves durability during heavy grinding
  Fibre backing resists tear and supports consistent pressure
  22mm centre hole ensures compatibility with common pads

Applications

• Suitable for weld grinding on steel fabrication assemblies
  Ideal for bevel preparation prior to joining operations
  Used for flame-cut smoothing in shipbuilding yards
  Can be used for deburring machined metal components
  Suitable for automated cell abrasive processes in factories

What abrasive material is used and how does it affect wear behaviour?

A precision-shaped ceramic grain is used
its triangular cutting geometry slices metal, producing lower temperatures and extended abrasive life compared with conventional ceramic grains.

Which backing and bonding choices contribute to longevity under heavy load?

A stiff Fibre backing combined with a strong resin bond delivers tear resistance and structural support during high-pressure, repetitive grinding.

How is pack quantity presented for workshop planning?

Items are supplied in packages of 25, enabling predictable stock rotation and fewer changeovers.

Which metals have validated test performance indicators?

Comparative tests referenced include carbon and stainless steel, showing improved cut rates, sustained performance and greater total material removal versus a competitive shaped-grain product.

What operating environments are these discs engineered for?

They are suited to industrial settings including automated robotic cells and manual grinding in metal fabrication, machinery manufacture and shipyard environments.
