XT Pro Extra Cut Non-Woven Disc 3M™ Scotch-Brite™

The 3M Scotch-Brite XT Pro Extra Cut disc is a cleaning and stripping disc: an abrasive mineral embedded in an open nylon web. It removes rust, paint, mill scale, coatings and adhesives, while preserving the shape of the parts.

Specifications

• Mineral: silicon carbide (S) or aluminium oxide (A), extra coarse grade.
• Diameters: from 75 to 200 mm.
• Attachments: 6 mm shank (75 and 100 mm), 13 or 22 mm bore depending on diameter.
• Pack sizes: 2 or 10 depending on the reference.

Stripping without damage

A flap disc or grinding wheel strips fast, but also removes metal. A wire brush does less damage, but loses its wires and clogs. The XT Pro strips firmly thanks to its extra coarse grade, while remaining flexible: it follows the part without digging in. The open web does not clog with the removed paint.

3M also notes that it produces few sparks and withstands stress for a consistent cut.

Applications

Removing rust, paint, mill scale and coatings, cleaning welds, removing adhesive and sealant joints, surface preparation before painting or welding, on steel and other metals.

Choosing the attachment

Shank-mounted versions fit a die grinder or drill, for hard-to-reach areas. Bore-mounted versions fit an angle grinder for large surfaces. Work with low pressure and respect the maximum speed shown.
