3M Diamond Cloth Belt 641WY is engineered with micron-graded diamond, a long-lasting resin bond and a durable, water-resistant X-weight cloth backing, making it ideal for grinding and polishing ceramics, carbide, cast iron and other hard-to-grind materials.

3M Trizact Cloth Belt 217EA uses proprietary microreplication technology in which micron-graded aluminum oxide particles are formed into tiny pyramids of abrasive mineral and then coated on a JE-weight rayon backing. As these pyramids wear, fresh, sharp mineral is continually exposed to produce a consistent cut and a predictable, fine finish.

3M Cubitron II Stikit Film Roll 775L features 3M Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain, a revolutionary advancement in abrasive technology now available to grade 1000+. The triangular shaped ceramic mineral is designed to slice through the substrate, rather than gouging or “plowing” like conventional abrasives, resulting in material that cuts up to 2x as fast and lasts up to 6x as long as conventional abrasives without compromising finish.

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 Microfinishing Film Roll 373L quickly cuts, shapes and polishes, delivering uniform, close-tolerance finishes on parts used in metalworking applications.

3M Cloth Belt 302D is an aluminum oxide belt with open coat construction and a flexible J-weight backing that conforms well for sanding contours and complex parts. It is best-suited for light grinding, finishing, deburring and setting the grain on carbon steel and stainless steel, as well as soft metals like aluminum, brass, bronze and copper.

3M Trizact Cloth Belt 363FC utilizes an aluminum oxide mineral bonded to a YF-weight polyester cloth backing. 363FC belts are consistent “go-to first” products for a wide range of applications from heavy deburring and defect removal to intermediate finishing. These belts are available in grades from A300 to A35.

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.

3M Cloth Belt 707E uses a 3M Ceramic Aluminum Oxide Abrasives blend and is designed for light to moderate-pressure stock removal and finishing operations when you need a conformable belt for contoured surfaces. The belt is constructed with a blend of 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain and premium aluminum oxide to offer more durability and cutting efficiency over non-ceramic abrasives.

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.

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.
