This is a high-performance cloth abrasive belt designed for efficient grinding and finishing of metal, especially heat-sensitive materials. It uses 3M’s proprietary Precision-Shaped Ceramic grain technology, which cuts much faster and lasts significantly longer than conventional aluminum oxide or zirconium belts, making your work quicker and reducing belt changeovers.
- Saves time and money: The self-sharpening Precision-Shaped Grain requires less pressure to cut, meaning you can complete grinding tasks in fewer steps and reduce the overall number of belts you use.
- Maintains performance on various metals: It includes a vegetable-based grinding aid for excellent heat resistance, allowing you to work on most metals, including stainless steel, without excessive heat buildup that can discolor or warp the workpiece.
- Flexible J-weight backing: The flexible backing allows the belt to conform well to contours and corners, making it easier to use on irregular shapes compared to stiffer belts.
Who this is best for:
Fabricators, welders, and maintenance professionals who need a durable, high-efficiency belt for stock removal, blending, and finishing tasks on metal parts, especially those who work with heat-sensitive materials or need to maximize belt life.
