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 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 Cloth Disc 361F is a durable abrasive product constructed with aluminum oxide abrasive mineral and a water-resistant polyester backing. The resin-coated design offers heat resistance and the YF-weighted cloth backing can withstand aggressive sanding action. The Cloth Disc 361F provides consistent performance for grinding, blending, deburring and finishing on a variety of metal.

Scotch-Brite Cut and Polish Wheels are built for aggressive blending and finishing applications. Harder than other finishing wheels, Cut and Polish Wheels are good for defect removal or heavy scratch blending and produces a finish with a tight scratch pattern.

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.

Introducing the 3M Cubitron 3 Cloth Belt 1184F, featuring a re-engineered 3M Precision-Shaped Grain. Designed to give you the performance boost you need. The 36+ grit option delivers up to 86% faster cut rate compared to crushed ceramic competitors – providing the ultimate in performance. Available in 36+ grit for medium and high-pressure applications like gate grinding and other heavy grinding, and 60+ and 80+ grit for medium pressure applications.

Microfinishing film belts are flexible tools on a polyester film carrier material that are only used for fine finishing. Fine Finishing Film also achieves a grinding effect because of the oriented grain and can therefore be used for fine grinding and lapping.
