Product Details
3M™ 341D cloth belt measures 1-1/2" x 60" and features a 40 grit aluminum oxide abrasive, catalog number 60440197618. This cloth belt is applicable in industries including builders hardware, medical instruments, metal fabrication, metal implants, plating and polishing, plumbing fixtures, primary wood and panel processing, and turbine engines. It is designed for various applications such as blending, centerless and cylindrical grinding, deburring, descaling, edge sanding, fine finishing, flat finishing, gate removal, grinding, intermediate finishing, mill scale removal, parting line removal, and radius shaping. The belt consists of fast-cutting aluminum oxide abrasive grains that are resin-bonded to a durable X-weight cotton cloth backing, providing continuous cut and long-life performance for aggressive dry sanding applications. The closed coat construction ensures a consistent, fine finish when working on metal and is suitable for producing a grain pattern, although the belt should not be used wet. Aluminum oxide is favored by industrial professionals for its cut-rate, durability, and longevity, making it effective on a variety of materials, including ferrous alloys, in both woodworking and metalworking. The abrasive particles are securely bonded to the cloth backing with resin, allowing the belt to withstand high heat and pressure. This product is available in different widths and lengths for use on various belt sanding tools tailored to diverse applications on both wood and metal. 3M™ offers a broad selection of belts adaptable to most industrial belt sanders, with wider belts typically employed with wide belt sanders for dimensioning or finishing wood panels, smoothing rough cut edges of metal sheets, or adding grain patterns to stainless steel sheets, while medium-width belts fit edge sanders for sanding flat, narrow surfaces like panel edges, and narrow belts are used with portable belt sanders for sanding or blending wood pieces such as cabinet doors.
