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 Xtract Cubitron II Paper Sheet Roll 732U features a 3M proprietary multi-hole pattern for improved dust extraction in finishing applications. Part of the 3M Xtract Series, designed for optimal dust removal. Its innovative multi-hole pattern extracts dust better than 5- or 6-hole products — increasing cut and dramatically increasing disc life. The design does not need to align with the disc pad holes, making switching the discs fast, easy, and convenient. Featuring ceramic 3M Precision-Shaped Grain, a revolutionary advancement in abrasive technology. The triangular shaped ceramic mineral is designed to slice through the substrate, rather than gouging or “plowing” like conventional abrasives, resulting in a sheet that cuts fast and offers long life.

Scotch-Brite Precision Heavy Duty Surface Conditioning Discs are a heavy-duty option designed for durability, long product life, and consistent performance. An extension of 3M’s Precision Surface Conditioning Disc family, these discs are ideal for high-pressure applications, such as grinding, deburring, edge breaking, blending, and refining, lasting longer than competitive premium nonwoven abrasives while offering edge durability and shape retention during edge wear; grade XXCRS (60+) lasts 2X longer on mild steel and finishes 3X more mild steel parts compared to competitive premium nonwoven abrasives (based on 3M Internal Testing). The key to this disc’s enhanced performance is 3M Precision-Shaped Grain technology, a proprietary molecular bonding technology designed with sharp, angular structures that continuously fracture to form sharp points.

Scotch-Brite Precision Heavy Duty Surface Conditioning Discs are available in MED (150+), CRS (120+), XCRS (80+), and XXCRS (60+).

3M Cubitron II Cloth Belt 990FZ offers revolutionary performance with 3M Precision Shaped Grain on a tough polyester cloth backing. This high-performing belt is constructed with an open coat and an additional anti-static treatment to further prevent loading during use on wood. It can also be used in either wet or dry 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.

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.
