2-inch SC-DS conditioning disc
The 3M 13253 is a 2-inch surface-conditioning disc built for quick-change tools using the TS attachment system. It uses a non-woven aluminum-oxide abrasive in a coarse grade with an open coating that resists loading. The brown disc is suited for surface preparation, blending and finishing on metal and other materials in automotive and industrial workshops.
Sustained-load behaviour at 25000 RPM
Rated for a maximum operating speed of 25 000 RPM, the disc maintains consistent cut quality during extended use rather than only in short bursts. The open-coat non-woven structure sheds debris continuously, reducing heat build-up and preventing the abrasive from glazing over. This allows the operator to keep steady pressure on the workpiece without frequent stops to clean the surface.
TS quick-change interface limits
The TS quick-change system locks the disc securely for high-speed rotation up to the rated 25 000 RPM limit. It is designed for straight-shaft or right-angle tools that accept the TS fitting and does not suit other quick-change standards. Users must verify that their tool’s maximum free speed does not exceed the disc’s rating and that the spindle accepts the TS pattern before mounting.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 13253 disc generate when run continuously at 25,000 RPM?
The open-coat, non-woven aluminum-oxide construction resists loading, which keeps friction and heat low during extended high-speed use on metal surfaces.
What tool and attachment system are required to mount this 2-inch TS disc?
A die grinder or right-angle tool fitted with a TS (turn-on/turn-off) quick-change holder that accepts 2-inch discs is needed for secure mounting.
Will the coarse-grade SC-DS disc work on older, softer metals without gouging?
The coarse aluminum-oxide non-woven web is designed for aggressive conditioning; on softer alloys it can remove material quickly, so lighter pressure is advised.
