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 CBN Polyimide Wheel 164PL is used for grinding primary and secondary relief angles on cutting tools made of tool steel and high speed steel. This general purpose wheel offers high cut rates, increased form holding, and increased thermal stability during higher temperature grinding operations.

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 Diamond Resin Wheel 664BK is used for high performance grinding of carbide cutting tools. It has superior form retention and runs with water-based coolant. From 100 to 400 mesh grits and dual grit – (120/320).

The 3M Diamond Resin Wheel 644BI is a general purpose wheel designed for the production and re-sharpening of tungsten carbide tipped saw blades. This wheel offers high material removal rates and good form retention.

3M Cut-Off Wheel 664BL is used to trim carbide cutting tool blanks to length for the cutting tool manufacturing industry.

The 3M Diamond Polyimide Wheel 665PL is used in the production and sharpening of carbide cutting tools. This general purpose wheel is designed to give you the best balance of form retention and the free-cut rate when used with water based lubricants.

3M engineered the 3M Diamond Wheel 654DJ for general purpose flute grinding on carbide cutting tools. This resin bond wheel maintains shape while providing a good rate of stock removal and is recommended for use in lower temperature operations. Suitable for wet or dry applications, this wheel is a smart choice for small re-grind shops or in-house sharpening.

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
