The 3M Cubitron 3 Fibre Disc 1187C features re-engineered 3M Precision Shaped Grain taking the legendary speed and life of 3M Cubitron Performance Abrasives to a whole new level. These product benefits include allowing for increased productivity and lower overall grinding costs vs. other fiber discs and depressed center grinding wheels when grinding a variety of metals, including stainless steel and other heat-sensitive alloys. Delivering up to 56% more total material removed compared to the 3M Cubitron II Fibre Disc 987C, 36+, this long-lasting fibre disc has a fast cut rate with high stock removal across a wide range of application pressures; it also features a grinding aid that minimizes temperatures for heat-sensitive alloys. Additionally, this disc is designed to help reduce exposure to hand-arm vibration, increase throughput, and complete more parts-per-disc when tackling medium to high-pressure grinding applications.
- RE-ENGINEERED 3M PRECISION-SHAPED GRAIN: Uses Re-Engineered Precision Shaped Grain, a proprietary technology designed with sharp, angular structures that continuously fracture to form sharp points to wear evenly, run cool, and optimize mineral breakdown
- A WHOLE NEW CUT LEVEL: Delivers up to 53% faster initial cut rate and up to 43% faster sustained cut rate compared to the 3M™ Cubitron™ II Fibre Disc 987C, 36+
- BUILT TOUGH: A stiff fiber backing and strong resin bond provide durability and tear resistance for heavy grinding applications, such as medium to high-pressure grinding, weld removal, and beveling — including robotic operations
- COOL CUTTING: Features a grinding aid and requires less pressure to use, enabling predictable wear while helping to reduce metal discoloration and the risk of stress cracks on heat-sensitive alloys, such as stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals
- LONG-LASTING: Maintains super-sharp points that cut exceptionally fast along the entire life of the fibre disc across a range of application pressures
- STAY PRODUCTIVE: Designed to deliver more parts completed per disc while cutting down on abrasive waste, reducing changeouts or downtime

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What grit is the 3M Cubitron 3 Fibre Disc 1187C, and what does that mean for my grinding work?
The 80+ grit is a coarser abrasive that's excellent for aggressive stock removal and fast cutting. It's ideal when you need to quickly grind down surfaces or remove material efficiently, making it perfect for initial grinding stages or heavy-duty applications.
-
Will this disc work with my Quick Change system?
Absolutely! The TN Quick Change system means you can swap out the disc in seconds without any tools, so you'll spend less time changing discs and more time working. It's designed to fit standard Quick Change backing pads.
-
How many discs do I get, and what size is this disc?
You'll receive 25 discs per bag with 100 discs total per case, and each disc is 4 inches in diameter. That gives you plenty of inventory to keep your grinding operations running smoothly without frequent reordering.
The 3M Cubitron 3 Fibre Disc 1187C represents a sophisticated abrasive solution engineered to deliver exceptional performance across a diverse range of industrial applications. Whether utilized in conjunction with 3M Angle Grinders to enhance operator comfort and control, or seamlessly integrated into advanced automated systems including robotic weld grinding operations, this fibre disc demonstrates remarkable adaptability and reliability in demanding work environments.
Key Performance AdvantagesThe 3M Cubitron 3 Fibre Disc 1187C has been specifically engineered to optimize automated weld grinding operations by systematically improving critical operational metrics.
