The 3M Hookit Paper Disc 763U combines a blend of ceramic and aluminum oxide abrasive grain and a heavy F-weight paper backing to make short work for tasks like defect repair on metals, prep for paint and orbital sanding. 3M Hookit attachment system makes tool attachment swift and simple.

3M Roloc Disc 361F offers a quick-change attachment and provides durability and high performance for grinding, blending, deburring, and finishing on all metals. Fast-cutting aluminum oxide abrasive grains are bonded to the heavyweight cloth backing with durable, heat-resistant resin that supports both wet and dry applications.

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.

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 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.

The soft, conformable density of the Standard Abrasives Aluminum Oxide Unitized Wheel 500 Series makes it a good match for light-pressure cleaning, blending and finishing on flat or contoured parts. When strict dimension tolerances are required, these non-woven abrasive wheels offer operators the finesse needed to deliver precise results.

The 15˝ x 15˝ blocks of material in the Standard Abrasives Unitized Block – 700 Series have a medium to hard density and robust durability, making them a good match for tough deburring, cleaning and finishing applications that require increased aggressiveness. The blocks can be cut and customized into various shapes for a range of uses.

3M Cloth Belt 211K is a lightweight cloth belt for general metalworking applications. This closed coat aluminum oxide belt comes in a range of grades for common applications like repairing metal finishes, blending and finish refinement.

The 3M Cartridge Roll 747D is ideal for metal finishing in small hard to reach areas like corners or inside pipes. These cartridge rolls feature a blend of aluminum oxide and 3M ceramic grain on a strong cotton backing around a solid mandrel core. Available in both tapered and regular designs.

3M Cartridge Roll 341D provides easy access to small, hard-to-reach spaces for sanding and finishing. As the outermost abrasive layer wears down, the cloth backing frays to expose fresh abrasive layers for continued cutting action.

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.

The extra hard Standard Abrasives Aluminum Oxide 900 Series Unitized Wheel is the most dense and aggressive wheel in the Standard Abrasives Unitized Wheels line. This non-woven abrasive wheel is engineered with the highest level of toughness and edge durability for effective removal of challenging burrs and efficient polishing of harder metals.
