Use it when
The fit is obvious.
- · Reach for the 3M Cubitron II 6-Inch Disc when the job is hardwood cabinet doors, heavy stock removal, and professional shops: that is the fight it was built for.
- · Ceramic grain fractures into fresh edges as it wears, so it stays hungry long after cheaper grit goes dull and starts rubbing instead of cutting.
- · This is a cutting grit, not a finishing one. It removes material and the surface’s attitude: it does not make anything pretty.
Skip it when
The job asks for something else.
- · Leave it if the surface is already close to finish-ready. This grit will chew through good work just to prove a point.
- · Leave it if the budget is tight enough that value-per-pack matters more than top-end feel and longevity: good mid-tier paper will get you there slower.
- · Leave it if the work is edges, profiles, and tiny repairs: those are easier to control by hand.

Is 80 the right grit lane for this?
