3M™ Fibre Disc, 501C, grade 24, 4 1/2 in x 7/8 in (114.3 mm x 22.2 mm)

• Heavy weight fibre backing is tough and durable
• Closed coat construction provides good grain density and helps deliver a finer finish
• Resin bond withstands heat and stabilizes the disc under pressure and heat to increase productivity

The 3M™ Fibre Disc 501C is a versatile and general purpose metalworking abrasive, designed to help with a variety of applications from grinding, weld removal, and finishing to blending on metals like carbon steel.

The 3M™ Fibre Disc 501C was engineered by adhering alumina-zirconia mineral to a fibre backing using resin. The closed coat construction on the 3M™ Fibre Disc 501C means mineral grains cover nearly 100% of the backing. The stiff fibre backing is extremely durable — vulcanized, hardened, and condensed prior to being coated with mineral. It withstands wear and tends not to yield or deflect when run, which helps the abrasive stay strong, especially when grinding and finishing on edges. Altogether, 3M™ Fibre Abrasives are rigid and deliver a fast cut for grinding and weld removal, and they come in a range of sizes to correspond to large or small welds. Fibre discs also work well for blending (creating a smooth surface after weld removal) and provide a consistent finish over the workpiece. This fibre can be cut to fit a variety of portable tools, facilitating easier access with the workpiece. When it comes to 3M™ Fibre Abrasives, choose the performance level suited toyour unique project needs. 3M™ Fibre Disc 501C offers an economical solution for a general-purpose metalworking disc, because it can perform well on a variety of projects without sacrificing performance. Given its versatility, you'll find that it is applicable in many markets. As evidenced by its use in the marine, metalworking and maintenance repair operation industries, it's a great multi-purpose disc that's good to have on hand.
