The 3M Microfinishing Film Roll 362L quickly cuts, shapes and polishes, delivering close-tolerance finishes for precision tooling and machining applications. Available in 9-100 micron grades, aluminum oxide is electrostatically oriented and bonded to a polyester film backing. A Type S (smooth) backsize coating provides slip resistance for microfinishing machines.

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.

Standard Abrasives Surface Conditioning RC Roll offers the best initial rate of cut compared to other surface conditioning materials. It is a versatile abrasive that can deburr, clean, blend and finish. Above all, it is the best material for flat surface finishing. Jumbo rolls enable conversion by the end user for specific 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.

3M Cut-Off Wheel 664BL is used to trim carbide cutting tool blanks to length for the cutting tool manufacturing industry.

3M Vitrified Grinding Wheels 33VA are the vitrified bonded grinding wheels with standard white aluminium oxide grains for conventional precision grinding operations of gear and turbocharger parts.
