Product Details
The 3M™ cloth belt 340D measures 37" x 75" and features a P180 grit aluminum oxide abrasive. This open coat premium grade aluminum oxide cloth belt is designed for durability and aggressive stock removal, resisting loading and suitable for a variety of applications on wood and metal, including wide belt sanding, edge sanding, and portable belt sanding. The fast-cutting aluminum oxide abrasive grains are resin-bonded to a durable cotton cloth backing, providing continuous cutting performance and long life. The belt's open coat and load-resistant coating make it particularly effective for sanding soft woods, and its washable backing supports high production environments by allowing removal of soft wood resin or pitch buildup through washing. Aluminum oxide is widely used industrially for its cut-rate, durability, and longevity and is compatible with materials such as ferrous alloys. The abrasive particles are bonded with resin to withstand high heat and pressure. The belts come in various sizes to fit different belt sanding tools: wider belts for wide belt sanders used on wood panels and metal sheets, medium-width belts for edge sanders handling flat, narrow surfaces like panel edges, and narrow belts for portable belt sanders used on pieces such as cabinet doors. Belt ends are joined with various splices including a film media splice, which ensures a secure bond, minimizes chatter marks, and maintains a smooth surface. Warranty information or certifications were not specified in the description provided.
