3M Green Corps 2-inch Roloc grinding disc with green button and durable cloth backing for metal grinding and rust removal

Quick-Change Design - 3M Roloc Disc (36527, 25-Pack)

2 Inch 80 Grit Grinding Disc for Fast Metal Prep

When you need aggressive material removal in tight spaces, this roloc disc from 3M delivers 5x faster disc changes, supports up to 25,000 RPM, and maintains cut rate for 2x longer than standard discs. The Green Corps 36527 combines coarse 80-grit aluminum oxide with the revolutionary Roloc attachment system that locks securely with just a half twist. Whether you're grinding welds, removing rust, or prepping metal surfaces, this 2-inch disc reaches where larger tools can't.

Key Benefits That Set These Discs Apart

Twist-On Quick-Change Convenience - Roloc quick-change system saves time between disc swaps with half-turn attachment that locks securely. Switch between grits in seconds without stopping your workflow, and color-coded button identifies grit at a glance for improved productivity.
Compact 2-Inch Design - Small diameter reaches confined areas larger discs miss—ideal for hem flanges, spot welds, and intricate metalwork. Pair with a 1/4 inch drill or die grinder and Roloc adapter to maneuver around brackets, seams, and corners without losing control.
Professional-Grade Durability - Aluminum oxide grain stays sharp longer than standard abrasives thanks to self-fracturing mineral that continuously exposes fresh cutting edges. Heavy cloth backing resists tearing under pressure while maintaining consistent cut rate.
Heat-Resistant Resin Bond - Durable resin bond withstands high friction and temperature spikes during heavy grinding, reducing glazing and maintaining consistent cut rate. This stability helps maintain pressure without frequent disc swaps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does this compare to standard grinding discs? A: The Roloc half-turn lock enables faster, more reliable changes than threaded pads and reaches tighter areas than larger grinders. Q: Do I need a special tool to use these 3M Roloc discs? A: Yes, use a Roloc disc pad holder (e.g., 3M 05540) in a 1/4" drill or die grinder. Q: How does 80 grit compare to finer grits? A: 80 grit removes material faster but leaves a coarser finish; follow with 120–180 for pre-paint prep. Q: Can these discs be used on aluminum? A: Yes—effective on steel and aluminum, though aluminum may load abrasives faster.
How does this compare to standard grinding discs?

The main advantage is the Roloc attachment system. While standard discs require threading onto a backing pad (which can strip or wear out), roloc discs lock with just a half twist. This makes disc changes 5x faster and eliminates cross-threading issues. The 2-inch size also reaches spots where 4.5" or 7" grinders simply won't fit.

Do I need a special tool to use these 3M roloc discs?

You'll need a Roloc disc pad holder (like 3M part 05540) that fits in any standard 1/4" drill or die grinder. Once you have the holder, it works with all Roloc-style discs regardless of size or grit. The same holder works for everything from coarse grinding discs to fine surface conditioning discs.

How does this 80 grit roloc disc compare to finer grits?

The 80 grit is ideal for aggressive material removal like rust, paint stripping, and weld grinding. It cuts faster than 120 or 180 grit options but leaves a coarser finish. For best results, start with 80 grit for heavy removal, then follow with finer grits (120-180) for surface finishing before primer or paint.

Can I use these discs on aluminum or just steel?

These aluminum oxide discs work well on both steel and aluminum, plus most metal alloys. The 80 grit provides aggressive cutting on all metals. Just be aware that aluminum tends to load up abrasives faster than steel, so you might go through discs quicker on soft metals.
