3M Cubitron II 982C Fiber Discs
These 5-inch ceramic fiber discs use a closed-coat YF backing and come in a 25-pack for high-volume grinding. They fit angle grinders with a 7/8-inch unthreaded arbor and are rated for 12,000 RPM maximum speed. Professional fabricators and metalworkers choose them for aggressive stock removal on steel and other ferrous metals.
Installation and common issues
Slip the unthreaded 7/8-inch hole over the grinder spindle and secure with the tool's standard flange and lock nut — no adapter is required. The most frequent problem is mounting the disc backwards, which tears the fiber backing and ejects debris. Always verify the arrow direction matches spindle rotation before tightening. Exceeding the 12,000 RPM limit also causes rapid disintegration.
Grit 36 extra-coarse rating
Grade 36 is the single specification that determines whether this disc matches the job; it is an extra-coarse grit designed for heavy weld grinding and rapid material removal. It will leave deep scratches unsuitable for finishing or paint preparation. Select a finer grit if the next step requires a smooth surface profile.
