3M Diamond Wheel 665PK 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 wheel life at average cut rates.

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

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 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.

Standard Abrasives GP Plus Bun can be converted into desired widths of convolute wheels for deburring, blending, finishing, polishing and cleaning applications that will not break edges or remove metal, these wheels are used on automated equipment, straight shaft stationary and portable tools and feed-through machines.

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.

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.

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.

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.
