180 MM X 22 MM 3M™ CUBITRON™ II P80 (CF. 25 PCS) 982C FIBER DISC
Maximum Power on Large Surfaces of Carbon Steel: Doubled Productivity and Halved Effort
The 3M™ Cubitron™ II Fibre Disc 982C 180mm is the ultimate tool for large-scale, heavy-duty grinding operations. Featuring patented 3M Precision Shaped Grain (PSG) technology, this disc doesn't just grind, it literally slices through metal with self-sharpening triangular ceramic tips. The result is up to twice the stock removal rate of conventional ceramic discs, while providing exceptional durability even in high-pressure applications. Designed specifically for carbon steel , it dramatically reduces operator fatigue by requiring less grinding pressure and operating at lower temperatures. Available in 80+ grit.

3M™ Cubitron™ II Fiber Discs 982C – Ø 180 mm x 22 mm
The 982C represents the pinnacle of 3M's "Premium Series" for working carbon steel (iron). Developed for heavy-duty industrial applications, this disc combines extreme stock removal capacity with unmatched longevity on large-format angle grinders.
Benefits and Exclusive Features
- 3M™ Precision Shaped Grain (PSG) Technology: Triangular-shaped ceramic grains are electrostatically oriented on the backing to form sharp peaks that act like individual cutting tools. The tips continuously self-sharpen as they break, maintaining consistent cutting potential and reducing frictional heat.
- Superior Efficiency on Large Areas: Thanks to the 180 mm diameter, it allows you to cover large surfaces in less time, offering a cutting speed and a lifespan up to twice as high as conventional ceramic abrasives.
- Reduced Operator Fatigue: PSG technology allows you to remove heavy material with significantly less sanding pressure, improving comfort and productivity during intense work shifts.
- Vulcanized Fiber Backing: The rigid, ultra-durable backing is designed to handle the most intense sanding applications, like heavy-duty weld grinding and high-pressure bevelling, without the risk of tearing.
- Cost Optimization: Longer disc life translates into fewer replacements and a significantly reduced cost per grinding.

Recommended Applications and Markets
The 180mm 982C disc is the standard in the heavy engineering, shipbuilding and infrastructure sectors:
- Weld Grinding: Rapid smoothing of large weld seams on carbon steel.
- Chamfering and chamfering: Accurate edge preparation on heavy sheets and profiles.
- Structural Carpentry: Removal of mill scale, mill scale, and surface imperfections.
Tips for Use
To fully exploit the potential of Cubitron™ II technology, use with 3M™ High Performance Ribbed Backing Pads (red) is recommended, which are essential to ensure proper fragmentation of the abrasive mineral under pressure.
3M™ Cubitron™ II is the generation that introduced the microreplicated PSG ceramic grain, revolutionising the way metals are cut and ground.
It is ideal for metal steelwork, industrial maintenance, welding and work on carbon steel, stainless and structural steels.
The range includes cut-off discs, fibre discs, flap discs, grinding discs and dedicated 3M ribbed backing pads.
Compared to traditional ceramic abrasives, Cubitron™ II ensures cooler cutting, less friction and a significantly longer service life.
Professionals choose it for consistent machining speed and an extremely competitive cost per piece.
Mistake to avoid: applying too much pressure, because the grain should not “plough” the workpiece but cut it cleanly.
Technical tip: always pair the correct 3M backing pad to keep the cutting geometry, reduce overheating and improve the finish.
