The 3M Flexible Diamond Belt 6454J is ideal for blending and finishing contours on thermal sprays, ceramics, carbides, composites, chilled iron, non-ferrous metals, and other hard to grind materials. The high flexibility of the backing is excellent for lighter duty applications such as blending and finishing, even on extreme contours.

3M Trizact CF Cloth Belt 347FC features a unique formulation and “bricks and channels” abrasive design well suited for hard chrome grinding and finishing. The 347FC belt delivers consistent grinding performance without loading and dulling and the flexible X-weight cloth backing withstands high pressure grinding on hard metals.

The 3M Microfinishing Film Roll 362L quickly cuts, shapes and polishes, delivering close-tolerance finishes for precision tooling and machining applications. Available in 9-100 micron grades, aluminum oxide is electrostatically oriented and bonded to a polyester film backing. A Type S (smooth) backsize coating provides slip resistance for microfinishing machines.

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.

Standard Abrasives Surface Conditioning RC Roll offers the best initial rate of cut compared to other surface conditioning materials. It is a versatile abrasive that can deburr, clean, blend and finish. Above all, it is the best material for flat surface finishing. Jumbo rolls enable conversion by the end user for specific applications.

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 Cut-Off Wheel 664BL is used to trim carbide cutting tool blanks to length for the cutting tool manufacturing industry.

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.

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.
