Product Details
The 3M™ cloth belt 302D measures 2" x 132" and features a P320 grit aluminum oxide abrasive with an open coat construction designed to channel sanding dust away from the belt and workpiece, enhancing visibility and belt performance. The abrasive and cloth backing are resin bonded, ensuring the belt runs until the abrasive is fully worn. This belt is recommended for operations requiring added flexibility and is suitable for a wide range of materials including ferrous alloys in woodworking and metalworking. The aluminum oxide mineral provides a durable, long-lasting cut rate and is adhered to the cloth backing with resin to withstand high heat and pressure. The open coat design spaces abrasive grains to prevent loading by dust and debris, offering a more aggressive cut than closed coat abrasives of the same grade. The belt is compatible with various belt sanding tools: wider belts are suited for wide belt sanders for flat finishing and smoothing metal sheets, medium-width belts fit backstands for weld removal or feed-thru style flat finishers, and narrow belts work on backstands or file tools for grinding, finishing, and right angle corners. The product is available in multiple widths and lengths to accommodate different industrial belt sanders, ensuring versatility across metalworking applications such as blending, deburring, fine finishing, and radiusing. Warranty information and certifications were not specified in the original description.
