Professional Abrasive Discs for Fine Finishing
3M 236U paper discs deliver consistent P220 grit performance on a C-weight paper backing. The gold aluminum oxide abrasive suits wood, metal, paint and composite surfaces. Each roll holds 50 discs and the case provides 250 discs for extended workshop use.
Upgrade from Clog-Prone or Coarser Discs
Switch when existing discs load quickly or leave deep scratches that require extra sanding steps. The open-coat design reduces loading on softwoods, primers and aluminium. The jump is worth it when rework time outweighs the cost of a finer, longer-lasting abrasive.
Limits of 5-Inch Hook-and-Loop Systems
Discs fit standard 5-inch random-orbital sanders with hook-and-loop pads. They are not compatible with 6-inch tools, PSA adhesive backings or vacuum-hole patterns. The paper backing tears if used on sharp edges or high-heat applications beyond light finishing work.

Questions about this item
What size backing pad or sander does the 5 in disc roll fit?
The discs are 5 in diameter and mount on any 5 in hook-and-loop or adhesive backing pad used with orbital or rotary sanders.
How do you load the 236U roll so discs feed without tearing?
Thread the roll onto the dispenser spindle with the gold abrasive side facing out, then pull the first disc straight to engage the perforations cleanly.
When should the P220 aluminum-oxide paper discs be replaced during a job?
Replace a disc when the gold cutting surface dulls, loads with dust, or the paper backing tears — typically after the material removal rate drops noticeably.
