Product Details
The 3M utility cloth roll measures 1" W x 50 yd and features aluminum oxide with a P120 grit. The roll allows for tearing the desired length of the strip for specific applications, with most grades utilizing a light, J-weight cloth backing that provides flexibility for conforming to circular edges, angles, or other contours. Grades P50 or P60 feature a slightly stiffer X-weight backing suitable for more coarse sanding applications. The cloth's durability is notable, remaining intact even when bent or rolled, yet easily torn by hand without compromising the sanding surface. Aluminum oxide is favored by industrial professionals for its fast cut-rate and long lifespan, as it self-fractures to reveal fresh cutting edges, in contrast to traditional natural abrasives that dull quickly. This versatile abrasive is suitable for various materials in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys, and can be used on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, wood, and plastic. Common applications include blending, cleaning, contour finishing, deburring, and rust removal, with key industries encompassing metalworking and maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO).
