Quick-Change Surface Conditioning – 3M Scotch-Brite Roloc Disc (07486, 25/Box)
Professional Surface Conditioning Disc for Metal Prep
Which disc is best for removing light rust without gouging? This Scotch-Brite Roloc surface conditioning disc changes discs 5× faster with the twist-lock Roloc system, delivers 50% longer disc life than conventional options, and runs 30% cooler to help prevent workpiece damage while reducing loading throughout use, keeping your workflow smooth and productive.
Key Features & Benefits
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| No Loading or Clogging Design | The open-web nonwoven construction resists material buildup that kills cheaper discs, while aluminum oxide abrasive stays sharp longer throughout the disc's life. This design provides more working time per disc and cleaner finishes on aluminum, steel, and stainless materials without the frustrating downtime of constantly replacing clogged discs. |
| Fast Tool Changes System | Roloc TR attachment system enables disc swapping in seconds with a simple twist motion, eliminating fumbling with adhesive backs or hook-and-loop systems when switching between different surface conditioning grades. This rapid changeover capability maximizes productivity by reducing tool setup time during multi-step finishing processes. |
| Conforms to Contours Perfectly | Flexible fibers bend around irregular surfaces without gouging or undercutting, making them perfect for radiused edges, curved panels, and detailed metalwork where rigid discs cause problems. This conformability ensures consistent contact and uniform results across complex geometries that would challenge traditional abrasives. |
| Medium-Grade Versatile Performance | Balanced cutting action removes light rust, oxidation, and surface imperfections without aggressive material removal that could damage workpieces. This medium grade provides optimal control for surface preparation, blending operations, and finishing work where precision matters more than speed, ideal for professional applications requiring consistent results. |

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this compare to flap discs?
Unlike flap discs that can be too aggressive for delicate work, this Scotch-Brite Roloc surface conditioning disc provides controlled material removal with a flexible, conforming action. Flap discs are better for heavy stock removal, while these nonwoven discs excel at blending and finishing without gouging.
Will this work on stainless steel without scratching?
Yes, the medium grade provides enough cutting action to remove oxidation while the nonwoven construction prevents deep scratching. The fibers conform to the surface and break down gradually, maintaining a consistent finish throughout the disc's life.
Do I need a special adapter for the Roloc TR system?
You'll need a Roloc TR disc pad that mounts to your die grinder or angle grinder. The TR system uses a twist-on threaded post for secure attachment, making it ideal for higher-speed applications.
How does this compare to sandpaper or flap discs?
Unlike sandpaper that can load up with material, these nonwoven discs stay open longer and run cooler. They're more flexible than flap discs, making them better for contoured surfaces and delicate blending work where you need control over material removal.
