What the AI looks for in Power Sander Quick Change Discs

Attachment style: Match the disc's button style to your holder. 3M Roloc twist-on, threaded Type R style and other push-on or twist-on systems are not interchangeable. A wrong-style disc will not lock into the holder, or will release under load.
Diameter: Match holder size, typically 1 in, 2 in or 3 in. These discs run on die grinders and small angle tools with size-specific holders.
Max RPM rating: The disc and holder rated maximum RPM must meet or exceed the die grinder's speed. Small discs on very fast die grinders can fail if over-sped.
Disc type for the job: Use coated abrasive discs for grinding and blending, and non-woven surface-conditioning discs for rust, paint and gasket removal. Non-woven discs clean without gouging, while coated discs remove material.

3M: The Roloc system is the most common quick-change standard.
Standard Abrasives: 3M-owned brand with quick-change and surface-conditioning discs.
Norton: Speed-Lok quick-change discs and holders.
Merit: Quick-change metalworking discs in several attachment styles.

Mixing attachment styles without checking that the holder matches.
Using a holder with a worn or cracked receiver.
Using coarse quick-change discs on aluminum gasket surfaces where flatness matters.

Only a holder made for Roloc-style twist-on discs, so check the attachment type rather than just the size.
