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.

Introducing the 3M Cubitron 3 Cloth Belt 1184F, featuring a re-engineered 3M Precision-Shaped Grain. Designed to give you the performance boost you need. The 36+ grit option delivers up to 86% faster cut rate compared to crushed ceramic competitors – providing the ultimate in performance. Available in 36+ grit for medium and high-pressure applications like gate grinding and other heavy grinding, and 60+ and 80+ grit for medium pressure applications.

Scotch-Brite Precision Heavy Duty Surface Conditioning Discs are a heavy-duty option designed for durability, long product life, and consistent performance. An extension of 3M’s Precision Surface Conditioning Disc family, these discs are ideal for high-pressure applications, such as grinding, deburring, edge breaking, blending, and refining, lasting longer than competitive premium nonwoven abrasives while offering edge durability and shape retention during edge wear; grade XXCRS (60+) lasts 2X longer on mild steel and finishes 3X more mild steel parts compared to competitive premium nonwoven abrasives (based on 3M Internal Testing). The key to this disc’s enhanced performance is 3M Precision-Shaped Grain technology, a proprietary molecular bonding technology designed with sharp, angular structures that continuously fracture to form sharp points.

Scotch-Brite Precision Heavy Duty Surface Conditioning Discs are available in MED (150+), CRS (120+), XCRS (80+), and XXCRS (60+).

3M Cubitron II Cloth Belt 966F is designed to provide efficient surface finishing on a variety of metals including stainless steel, titanium and other high nickel alloys. Made with 3M precision shaped ceramic grain attached to a water resistant polyester cloth backing, this belt can aggressively sand and finish surface without discoloring the metal in either wet or dry applications.

3M Vitrified Grinding Wheels 33VC are the vitrified bonded grinding wheels with special white aluminium oxide grains and a green bonding system for conventional precision grinding operations.

Scotch-Brite Metal Finishing Wheel combines conformability with consistent abrasive cutting action to provide uniform brushed stainless and satin finishes. The Metal Finishing Wheel is also used effectively to blend and match #3 or #4 mill finishes on stainless steel and to create brushed or satin finishes on items such as cutlery, appliance trim, builders hardware, and plumbing fixtures.

Scotch-Brite Cut and Polish Unitized Wheel is a tightly layered, durable, unitized wheel available in medium to hard densities. The wheel works well for aggressive deburring, blending, and finishing on harder metals and for applications where portability is needed. This wheel provides an excellent starting point for jobs requiring the availability of small diameters and narrow widths.

3M Cloth Band 747D is a versatile abrasive that can be used to access inner and outer contours for grinding, sanding, and shaping on all metals, including stainless steel and nickel alloys, as well as wood and fiberglass. It conforms to contours to remove parting lines or seams, imperfections, and burrs.

Scotch-Brite SST Unitized Wheels offer the same advantages as the SST convolute wheels. Softer and more conformable than many other higher density wheels, the SST is ideal for deburring and finishing demanding alloys like stainless steel and titanium. Unitized wheels can be made in much smaller diameters and widths than convolute wheels for more precise applications.

Scotch-Brite EXL Unitized Wheels feature a soft, conformable consistency that effectively smooths, deburrs and finishes the edges of metal alloys, as well as many plastics and composites. There are a variety of densities and grades starting from a very soft 2 density for applications requiring conformability to a hard, aggressive 8 density for maximum cut and durability.

Take advantage of increased durability and cutting efficiency with 3M Cloth Belt 777F. This belt features a blend of 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain and aluminum oxide that outperforms aluminum oxide belts in stock removal and metal finishing applications. The heavyweight cloth backing supports high-pressure applications, performs well on heat-sensitive metals, and can be used dry or with lubricant.
