3M Diamond Wheel 686HN is a special hybrid bond diamond wheel used for grinding primary and secondary relief angles on round tools made of tungsten carbide. This highly engineered wheel offers the excellent form retention and long wheel life which is ideal for long production runs where tighter control on tolerances are required.

3M Cloth Belt 302D is an aluminum oxide belt with open coat construction and a flexible J-weight backing that conforms well for sanding contours and complex parts. It is best-suited for light grinding, finishing, deburring and setting the grain on carbon steel and stainless steel, as well as soft metals like aluminum, brass, bronze and copper.

3M Cubitron II Vitrified Grinding Wheels 92VC are the vitrified bonded grinding wheels containing 30% precision shaped grains with geometrically defined cutting edges for conventional precision grinding applications.

Flutes are the helical or straight grooves in the body of the tool. This provides a pathway to permit the removal of chips, and to allow coolants to reach the cutting surface.

3M Diamond Wheel 665PK is used in the production and sharpening of carbide cutting tools. This general purpose wheel is designed to give you the best balance of form retention and wheel life at average cut rates.

3M CBN Wheel 164PK is used to generate the flute which is the helical or straight groove in the body of the cutting tools made of tool steel and high speed steel. This polyimide bonded wheel offers high cut rates, good form retention, and increased thermal stability during higher temperature grinding operations.

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 CBN Polyimide Wheel 164PL is used for grinding primary and secondary relief angles on cutting tools made of tool steel and high speed steel. This general purpose wheel offers high cut rates, increased form holding, and increased thermal stability during higher temperature grinding operations.

3M Cubitron II Cloth Belt 991FZ offers revolutionary performance with 3M Precision Shaped Grain on a polyester cloth backing. This high-performing belt is constructed with a closed coat and an additional anti-static treatment to further prevent loading during use on wood. It can be used in either wet or dry applications.

3M Sanding Screen Sheet 483W employs fast-cutting, sharp silicon carbide mineral bonded to a durable screen cloth mesh. Extremely load-resistant, use it wet or dry for buffing and finishing both soft woods and metal surfaces.
