What this disc is and who it fits
The 3M 18424 is a hook-and-loop surface conditioning disc built with silicon-carbide abrasive in an extra-coarse grade. It targets metalworkers and automotive technicians who need aggressive material removal on contoured surfaces without loading.
What to check before ordering
Verify that your backing pad accepts a 4-1/2 inch hook-and-loop disc with no vacuum holes. The non-woven construction requires a compatible random-orbital or dual-action sander running at the speed recommended by the tool manufacturer.
Behaviour under sustained load
The load-resistant coating and open non-woven structure shed debris continuously, keeping the cutting action consistent during extended blending or cleaning passes. Silicon-carbide grain stays sharp longer than conventional abrasives, reducing disc changes on high-volume jobs.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the 3M 18424 disc, and do I need a separate backing pad?
The box contains the hook-and-loop surface conditioning disc; a compatible hook-and-loop backing pad must be purchased separately for attachment to your sander.
Which grade of the 3M 18424 should I choose for heavy material removal?
This model is only offered in the Extra Coarse grade, designed for aggressive stock removal and surface preparation tasks.
How does the 4-1/2 inch diameter of the 3M 18424 affect its use on a random orbital sander?
The 4-1/2 inch size fits standard random orbital sanders of that diameter, providing full contact area for consistent finishing on flat surfaces.
