3M Microfinishing Film Belt 372L is designed to help you get the finest finish possible, and is available in a wide variety of forms. It features micron-graded aluminum oxide abrasive bonded to a durable polyester film backing to produce a fast cut-rate and uniform finish on composites, plastic, fiberglass and metal.

3M Vitrified Grinding Wheels 91VB are the vitrified bonded wheels for optimising roughing and finishing process steps while grinding gear parts.

3M Vitrified Grinding Wheels 33VA are the vitrified bonded grinding wheels with standard white aluminium oxide grains for conventional precision grinding operations of gear and turbocharger parts.

3M Cubitron II Vitrified Grinding Wheels 92VC are the vitrified bonded grinding wheels containing 30% precision shaped grains with geometrically defined cutting edges for conventional precision grinding applications.

3M Cubitron II Cloth Belt 991FZ offers revolutionary performance with 3M Precision Shaped Grain on a polyester cloth backing. This high-performing belt is constructed with a closed coat and an additional anti-static treatment to further prevent loading during use on wood. It can be used in either wet or dry applications.

The 3M Cut-Off Wheel 654BK is a general purpose cut-off wheel for carbide tool manufacturing. With a highly concentrated diamond abrasive mineral, solid construction and a steel core, it is commonly used for trimming tool blanks on carbides, high speed steels and hard metals.

Flutes are the helical or straight grooves in the body of the tool. This provides a pathway to permit the removal of chips, and to allow coolants to reach the cutting surface.

3M Vitrified Grinding Wheels 33VB consists of high-grade white aluminum oxide abrasive grit with a green V604, V904, or V304 vitrified bond and are available with various specifications for various applications.

Special resins and the addition of innovative additives lend these grinding wheels great flexibility with simultaneously high edge stability. These wheels are therefore suitable for web thinning, clearance angle grinding, and relief grinding when manufacturing tools as well as when resharpening them. They are especially suitable for sharpening worn tools on high performance machines

3M Cubitron II Cloth Roll 981F is a bulk abrasive roll for grinding, weld removal, finishing and blending on softer metals. It is constructed on a tough, Y-weight backing with fast-cutting 3M Precision-Shaped Grain. The water-resistant material and cutting aide allow for use with liquid coolants to prevent loading when used on aluminum, bronze and brass.

3M Cloth Roll is a high-performance abrasive material built for versatility and value. Powered by 3M Precision-Shaped Grain, it lasts longer and cuts faster than conventional aluminum oxide and alumina zirconia abrasive – and it’s priced for affordability and everyday use. This unbeatable combination of performance and value can increase productivity while also lowering your abrasive spend.
