3M Paper Belt 346UZ is constructed with a premium aluminum oxide mineral. It is an open coat construction for loading resistance and is coated on an F-weight paper backing to efficiently sand and finish. F-weight is one of the heaviest, most rigid paper backings available and will achieve finer finishes than cloth backed belts in the same grade.

3M Cloth Belt 384F is a general-purpose aluminum oxide cloth-backed belt recommended for metal deburring, general metalworking, and some woodworking applications. It is optimized for use on mild steel and carbon steel, and is also effective on softer metals like aluminum, bronze and brass.

3M Cloth Roll 461F is a silicon carbide abrasive designed for light deburring and finishing on a variety of metals, including titanium, stainless and carbon steel. The heavy polyester cloth backing is flexible and resilient, providing tear-resistance as well as water-resistance for wet applications.

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 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.

3M Cloth Roll 747D is an abrasive product featuring a blend of aluminum oxide and 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain that produces an excellent cut rate. This abrasive is constructed on an X-weight, durable cloth backing designed with anti-friction properties that help the abrasive run smooth. Fast-cutting and tough, this cloth roll delivers exceptional finishes on a variety of metal substrates.

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

Equipped with an X weight backing and proprietary 3M microreplication technology, the 3M Trizact Cloth Roll 237AA is specially designed for low to medium pressure applications — projects that would benefit from a semi-flexible abrasive with aluminum oxide mineral. Cloth Roll 237AA is commonly used on mild steel, stainless steel, nickel, cobalt alloys, aluminum, brass, copper and titanium.

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.
