3M Cubitron II 982C 5in 36G Discs
These 5in fiber discs use ceramic abrasive on a YY-weight fiber backing for aggressive stock removal. The GL quick-change connector fits 5/8in-11 spindles and the pack contains 25 discs. They suit metal fabrication shops that need fast cutting on steel and stainless.
Closed-coat ceramic cuts to 12,000 RPM limit
The closed-coating resists loading but generates more heat than open-coat alternatives. Maximum operating speed is 12,000 RPM so the disc must run on a matching or lower-rated sander. Extra-coarse 36 grit removes material quickly but leaves a deep scratch pattern that requires finer steps.
Replaces conventional aluminum oxide fiber discs
The ceramic grain stays sharp longer than aluminum oxide on hard alloys, reducing change-over frequency. The jump is worth it when grinding high volumes of carbon steel or stainless where disc life outweighs the higher per-unit cost. Not for light deburring or finish work where finer grits are needed.

Questions about this item
Which grit and pack size should I choose for heavy stock removal?
The 36 grit extra-coarse grade removes material quickly; each box contains 25 discs for extended use.
What does the 12,000 RPM maximum speed mean when the disc is mounted on my sander?
It is the highest safe spindle speed — run the tool at or below 12,000 RPM to avoid disc failure.
How does the 5/8 in.-11 GL connector affect which tools I can use?
The GL quick-change hub fits 5/8 in.-11 spindles, letting you swap discs without tools on compatible right-angle grinders.
