3M Cubitron II 6" 80+ Clean Sanding Discs for Automotive - 3M Automotive

The 3M Cubitron II 6" 80+ Clean Sanding Discs, model number 3M 31371, are engineered for professional automotive and industrial refinishing tasks that demand efficient material removal and advanced dust management. These discs utilize 3M's precision-shaped grain technology, delivering a consistently fast and cool cut with minimal pressure to optimize body filler shaping and paint preparation across various vehicles.

Key Features

• Precision-Shaped Grain Technology: Features 3M's Cubitron II abrasive, which consists of triangular-shaped ceramic grains electrostatically oriented to slice through paint and body filler, ensuring a fast, cool cut and a uniform scratch pattern on diverse surfaces. This technology allows for at least 30% faster cutting and 30% longer life compared to conventional ceramic abrasives.
• Optimized Dust Extraction: The 6" clean sanding multi-hole pattern efficiently pulls dust away from the work surface, extending disc life, maintaining abrasive effectiveness, and contributing to a cleaner work environment.
• Versatile P80+ Grit: The aggressive P80+ grade is suitable for rapid stock removal while offering enough control for precise feather edging, panel shaping, and creating seamless repair transitions.
• Durable Film Backing: A robust film backing enhances durability, resisting tearing along edges and contours to ensure consistent performance in high-production collision repair settings.
• 3M Hookit™ Attachment: The reliable hook-and-loop system allows for quick and secure disc changes on standard 6" DA backup pads, streamlining workflow in professional shops.

Applications

• Shaping and leveling body filler on substrates including steel, aluminum, and various plastic panels.
• Efficient removal of paint and clearcoat during collision repair on passenger cars, light trucks, SUVs, and commercial vehicles.
• Feather edging around repair areas to prepare surfaces for priming and blocking.
• Initial surface preparation on OEM and refinish coatings prior to transitioning to finer abrasive grades.
