What this pack contains
The 3M 361F Quick Change Disc pack supplies fifty 3-inch aluminium-oxide discs rated P240 for fine finishing work. They suit automotive refinishing, metal fabrication and general workshop sanding where a consistent very-fine cut is required. The TR quick-change fitting lets operators swap media in seconds without tools.
Installation and common issues
Each disc snaps onto a compatible TR backup pad rated for at least 18 000 RPM; simply align the lugs and twist to lock. Running above the stated maximum speed or using a worn pad causes vibration, premature grain shedding and edge tear-out. Over-pressure on the workpiece also loads the closed-coat surface rapidly, reducing cut life.
Compatibility checks before ordering
Verify that your random-orbital or rotary sander accepts 3-inch TR-style discs and is rated for 18 000 RPM or higher. Confirm the backup pad diameter matches the 3-inch disc size and that the machine’s spindle thread suits the TR adapter. The polyester XF backing resists heat, so coolant is optional but not required for most metals.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the 3M 11418 disc is running correctly after mounting it on my tool?
The disc should spin smoothly up to the rated 18,000 RPM without vibration. A consistent cut and even wear across the 3 in aluminum-oxide surface confirm proper operation.
What does the PK50 pack contain and is a backup pad required separately?
The box holds 50 green 361F quick-change discs with TR attachment. A compatible TR-style backup pad is not included and must be purchased separately.
Which grit should I choose between the listed grades for fine finishing work?
This model is P240 very-fine grade. Select it when you need a smooth surface preparation step before painting or clear-coating.
