180MM X 22MM FLUTED DIE 709EQ 3M™ CUBITRON™ 3 (CF 25 PCS) 1187C 36+ FIBER DISC
Unprecedented Productivity: The New Era of Abrasives with 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 1187C
The 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Fiber Disc 1187C represents the pinnacle of technological innovation in industrial grinding. Featuring a redesigned Precision Shaped Grain (PSG) , this disc delivers up to 53% faster initial cut and up to 56% higher total material removal than the legendary Cubitron™ II 987C. Designed specifically for stainless steel and heat-sensitive alloys , it features a cooling additive that prevents discoloration and stress cracking. With a rigid fiber backing and a construction that reduces hand-arm vibration, the 1187C not only extends abrasive life, but dramatically improves operator efficiency and comfort, allowing more parts to be completed on a single disc.

3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Fiber Disc 1187C – 180 mm x 22 mm, Grit 36+
The 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 Fibre Disc 1187C (ID 7100309795) was developed to take the speed and life of high-performance abrasives to a whole new level. It is the ideal tool for medium- to high-intensity heavy-duty grinding on difficult metals.
Advantages and Technological Innovations
- Redesigned Precision Shaped Grain: Utilizes molecular bonding technology with sharp, angular structures that continuously fracture. This creates consistently sharper points, ensuring consistent use and optimal mineral fragmentation.
- Extreme Cutting Performance: Delivers 53% faster initial cut rate and 43% faster sustained cut than the previous standard 3M™ 987C.
- Advanced Thermal Management: Includes a special grinding additive that minimizes heat development. This allows for better control and reduces the risk of metal discoloration or thermal cracking on sensitive alloys like stainless steel and non-ferrous metals.
- Maximum Strength and Durability: The rigid fiber backing and strong resin bonding ensure exceptional tear resistance even in robotic operations or high-pressure applications.
- Comfort and Productivity: Designed to reduce exposure to hand-arm vibration while increasing the number of parts completed per disc and reducing downtime for abrasive changes.

Applications and Markets
The 1187C model is optimized for the heavy engineering, transportation and construction sectors:
- Main applications: Heavy weld removal, beveling, deburring and high pressure grinding.
- Secondary applications: Edge chamfering and robotic grinding operations.
- Sectors of use: Agricultural and construction machinery manufacturing, railways, oil and gas, shipbuilding and aerospace.
Technical Tip: To maximize cost-effectiveness and finish quality, pair the 1187C disc with Scotch-Brite™ Precision Heavy Duty Surface Conditioning Discs. This will streamline the entire process, reducing intermediate steps.
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.
