Increase durability and productivity3M abrasive discs are designed for maximum durability. Many feature our revolutionary Precision-Shaped Grain, which acts like a cutting tool, slicing through surfaces like a knife. It grinds faster and with less friction, minimising heat build-up in the workpiece and lasting many times longer than conventional grain. The durable design of our abrasives helps reduce worktime which improves productivity and increases safety.

Reduce hand-arm vibrationHand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) is a industrial injury caused by continuous exposure to vibrations from hand held tools or machinery. Prolonged exposure can damage the blood vessels, nerves and tendons in the fingers, hand and wrist. Vibration related injuries can lead to permanently reduced sensitivity, strength and dexterity.
3M abrasive discs work faster than conventional alternatives. The smooth cutting action requires less operator pressure, and completing the job faster enabled by the faster cutting abrasive will lead to reduced operator time on the tool, helping prevent hand-arm vibration.

What kind of discs do I need for an angle grinder?
This will depend on the type of material you are working with. If you're cutting through metal, cutting discs are the best option. You will need to choose the right thickness for your abrasive, depending on the size and type of the metal.
Flap discs are the best option for fast stock removal and deburring welds, allowing you to grind, blend and finish with one product. For paint removal, non-woven strip discs are the best option, helping remove paint layers without damaging walls.
