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 Cubitron II Cloth Belt 784F features 3M Precision-Shaped Grain for longer life and a faster, more consistent cut than conventional ceramic aluminum oxide belts. A precise mix of shaped ceramic and premium aluminum oxide delivers optimal cut in medium-pressure grinding and blending applications. The belt also features a waterproof backing and grinding aid.

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.

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 Trizact CF Cloth Belt 347FC features a unique formulation and “bricks and channels” abrasive design well suited for hard chrome grinding and finishing. The 347FC belt delivers consistent grinding performance without loading and dulling and the flexible X-weight cloth backing withstands high pressure grinding on hard metals.

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 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.
