Product Details
The 3M Utility Cloth Roll measures 1" W x 50 yd and features aluminum oxide with a P80 grit, allowing users to tear the desired length of strip from the roll for specific applications. Most grades feature a light, J-weight cloth backing that provides the necessary flexibility to conform to circular edges, angles, or other contours, while P50 or P60 grades possess a stiffer X-weight backing for coarse sanding applications. This durable cloth maintains its integrity even when bent or rolled, permitting easy hand-tearing without compromising the sanding surface. Aluminum oxide is favored by industrial professionals due to its fast cut-rate and longevity, as it self-fractures to present fresh cutting edges, unlike traditional natural abrasives that dull more rapidly. This type of abrasive is versatile, suitable for a range of materials in woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys, and can be employed in various applications such as blending, cleaning, contour finishing, deburring, and rust removal, with use in industries including marine, metalworking, and MRO.
