When traditional aluminum oxide belts aren’t cutting it, try 3M Cloth Belt 577F with alumina zirconia abrasive grain. It offers increased cutting efficiency compared to aluminum oxide, and has a heavy, water-resistant polyester backing that stands up to high-pressure applications and edge work.

3M Cloth Belt 340D is an open coat premium grade aluminum oxide cloth belt that provides durability for aggressive stock removal, resists loading, and is suitable for a variety of applications on wood and metal. This belt is recommended for wide belt sanding, edge sanding, or portable belt sanding.

3M Cloth Belt 747D is made with a blend of aluminum oxide and 3M ceramic grain and is designed for superior metal finishing on a variety of metals including nickel and stainless steel.

Operators convert the Scotch-Brite Cut and Polish Unitized Block into custom sizes and shapes for their unique applications. This tightly layered, durable, unitized abrasive block is available in fine and medium densities, and works well for aggressive deburring, blending and finishing on harder metals.

3M Trizact Cloth Belt 237AA uses proprietary microreplication technology by 3M where micron-graded aluminum oxide particles are formed into tiny pyramids of abrasive mineral and then coated on an X weight cloth backing. As these pyramids wear, fresh, sharp mineral is continually exposed to produce a consistent cut and a predictable, fine finish.

3M Trizact Cloth Belt 305EA features an aluminum oxide mineral constructed on a very flexible JE-weight backing. It is resin bonded for heat resistance and contains a grinding aid to assist in cutting and keeping the work piece cool. This belt offers outstanding consistency and long belt life in both robotic and offhand applications. It is available in micron grades A5 and A3.

3M Cloth Cone 777F reaches into corners, inside surfaces and tight spaces to refine welds, remove machine tool marks, and polish. Built with 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain on a water resistant polyester cloth backing, it can be run wet or dry. A resin bond is heat resistant and a grinding aid helps to run cool, especially on heat sensitive metals like stainless steel and nickel alloys.

3M Cubitron II Cloth Belt 784F features 3M Precision-Shaped Grain for longer life and a faster, more consistent cut than conventional ceramic aluminum oxide belts. A precise mix of shaped ceramic and premium aluminum oxide delivers optimal cut in medium-pressure grinding and blending applications. The belt also features a waterproof backing and grinding aid.

3M Cloth Cone 341D is ideal for getting into small, hard-to-reach spaces. An abrasive die-cut strip with ends spliced together forming a cylinder or sleeve with the diameter on one end being larger or smaller than the diameter of the opposite end. Aluminum oxide cuts fast and the stiff X-weight cotton cloth backing withstands applications where a cone shaped abrasive is used.
