Introducing the<br />
3M™ Easy Change<br />
Disc System, from<br />
the same experts that<br />
developed 3M™ Regalite™<br />
Floor Sanding Abrasives. There’s no hole: The<br />
sanding disc locks to the driving pad and stays put.<br />
That means no dish-out. No scratches. No swirls.<br />
No drum chatter marks.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, when the dust clears, all that’s left is a<br />
smooth, beautiful oor and your reputation<br />
for quality work.<br />
