3M™ Cubitron™ Grinding Disc 3 98418 – Ø 180 mm x 7 mm x 22.23 mm
The 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Disc (ID 7100303980) represents the pinnacle of Type 27 bonded abrasives for large angle grinders. Developed to tackle the hardest metals and the most demanding industrial applications, this disc combines unbeatable speed with record-breaking longevity.
Next Generation Benefits and Features
- PSG Molecularly Reengineered: New shaped ceramic grain technology allows the tips to shatter with even more precision and control. The result is a blade that constantly self-sharpens, maintaining consistent cutting power and reducing heat generated by friction.
- Maximized Productivity: Increases cutting capacity by 14% over Cubitron™ II abrasives, allowing you to complete heavy-duty operations in less time and with fewer tool changes.
- Superior Performance: Designed to remove up to double the material of the best previous generation ceramic discs, reducing the cost per grind.
- Optimized Thermal Management: Cooler cutting protects the structural integrity of the metal, preventing discoloration and burning on sensitive substrates like stainless steel.
- Depressed Center Design (Type 27): The ergonomic shape allows the operator to work at different angles, offering versatility and superior control even on complex profiles.

Applications and Substrates
The 98418 model is suitable for machine shops that face daily challenges in sectors such as heavy carpentry, marine and machinery manufacturing:
- Heavy removal: Large weld beads and slag.
- Edge processing: High pressure chamfering, bevelling and chamfering.
- Compatible materials: Stainless steel (Inox), mild steel, carbon steel and special alloys.
Expert Tip: To fully utilize the potential of Cubitron™ 3 technology, we recommend using high-powered angle grinders that can maintain a constant rotation speed even under heavy load.
3M™ Cubitron™ 3 is the direct evolution of Precision Shaped Grain (PSG) technology, redesigned to ensure an even more controlled fracture of the abrasive grain.
It is designed for high-intensity sectors such as heavy steelwork, stainless steel, shipbuilding, metalworking and robotic grinding.
The range includes fibre discs, grinding discs, cut-off discs and solutions for aggressive stock removal on alloy and high-strength steels.
Compared to Cubitron™ II, the Cubitron™ 3 line offers faster cutting, less heat build-up and up to 56% more material removed.
Choose it for consistent productivity, reduced vibration and significantly longer abrasive life.
Avoid excessive pressure: the grain works best with steady feed, exploiting the self-sharpening PSG geometry.
Technical tip: always use original 3M backing pads to keep the optimal working angle and maximise disc life.
