Abrasive cleaning disc 3M XT‑RD Pro 115×22 mm fiber backing, M14 arbor

3M XT‑RD Pro 115×22 mm abrasive cleaning disc with fiber backing and M14 arbor is designed for coarse surface cleaning and fast material removal on metal and other substrates. The disc fits angle grinders with an M14 spindle and delivers consistent abrasive action for tasks such as rust and paint removal, weld seam cleaning, and surface preparation before coating or painting. The fiber backing provides stability and controlled aggressiveness during operation while the 115 mm diameter keeps the tool compact and maneuverable for work in confined areas.

Advantages

The construction combines a durable fiber backing with a formulated abrasive that maintains cutting performance over time and resists tearing under normal workshop stresses. The M14 arbor thread ensures compatibility with widely used angle grinders. The disc achieves effective material removal with reduced clogging and predictable wear, allowing operators to maintain a steady finish and consistent work progress.

Suitable for

• Removing rust, paint, scale and coatings from steel and metal surfaces
• Cleaning weld seams and removing welding spatter
• Surface preparation before grinding, priming or painting
• Coarse deburring and edge blending on metal parts

Key specifications

• Diameter: 115 mm
• Arbor thread: M14
• Backing type: fiber
• Intended use: coarse cleaning and material removal
• Compatibility: angle grinders with M14 spindle

How to use

Mount the 3M XT‑RD Pro disc onto an angle grinder with an M14 spindle following the grinder manufacturer’s instructions and ensure the disc is correctly seated and tightened. Use appropriate rotational speed consistent with the disc rating and avoid exceeding the grinder’s maximum RPM. Apply steady, even pressure while moving the disc across the surface; avoid excessive force which can reduce disc life and increase heat. Allow the abrasive action to remove rust, paint or other material rather than forcing the tool.

Usage recommendations

Always wear suitable personal protective equipment including eye protection, gloves, hearing protection and respiratory protection when working with abrasive discs. Inspect the disc for damage before use and replace if torn, cracked or excessively worn. Use the disc within the recommended RPM range and follow safe tool handling practices to ensure consistent cleaning performance and operator safety.
