3M 1182C Ceramic Grinding Disc, 100 mm, 25 Grit 25 Per Pack

This abrasive disc is a ceramic fibre-backed sanding component designed for heavy material removal in industrial metalworking environments. It is intended for use with angle grinders and compatible back-up pads, delivering high stock removal rates for tasks where speed and sustained cutting are required. Supplied in packs suitable for production settings, it supports applications where automated or manual grinding processes demand consistent abrasive performance.

• Precision-shaped ceramic grain increases sustained cut rate and life
• Fibre backing and resin bond give tear resistance for tough use
• High safe running speed reduces cycle time on suitable tools
• Engineered to cut cooler to minimise heat transfer to workpieces
• Long-lasting abrasive reduces changeovers and downtime

• Suitable for weld grinding on carbon and stainless steel
• Ideal for bevel preparation prior to fabrication
• Used for flame-cut smoothing in shipyards and heavy fabrication
• Can be used for surface grinding and deburring in automated cells
• Suitable for robotic abrasive operations in machinery manufacturing

Fit the disc to a compatible back-up pad and ensure the centre hole matches the pad stud for correct seating, using only pads rated for the disc's maximum operating speed.

Store discs in the original sealed foil bag or a closed container to prevent moisture exposure and deformation when not in use.

The ceramic grain is formulated to cut at lower temperatures, which helps reduce the risk of thermal discolouration on stainless and other heat-sensitive alloys.

Its consistent wear and sustained cut rate support longer uptime and more predictable cycle-to-cycle material removal for robotic processes.

Verify the grinder and back-up pad are compatible with the disc's maximum safe speed, inspect the disc for damage, and follow standard personal protective equipment procedures for metal grinding.
