Product Details
The 3M™ cloth belt 341D 2" x 60" P180 grit aluminum oxide features fast-cutting aluminum oxide abrasive grains resin-bonded to a durable X-weight cotton cloth backing, providing continuous cut and long-life performance for aggressive dry sanding applications. It is designed for finishing on metal with a closed coat construction that offers a consistent, fine finish suitable for producing a grain pattern, and is not intended for wet use. The aluminum oxide mineral is favored in industrial applications due to its cut rate, durability, and long life, suitable for a wide range of materials including ferrous alloys in both woodworking and metalworking. The abrasive particles are adhered to the cloth backing with resin, creating a strong bond resistant to high heat and pressure. These abrasive belts come in various widths and lengths and are compatible with many belt sanding tools for applications on wood and metal. Wider belts accommodate wide belt sanders to dimension or finish wood panels, smooth rough cut metal edges, or add grain patterns to stainless steel sheets; medium-width belts fit edge sanders for sanding flat, narrow surfaces such as panel edges; and narrow belts suit portable belt sanders for sanding or blending wood pieces like cabinet doors. Belt splices available include film media splices, which secure the belt ends with a joining film to minimize chatter marks, ensure smooth running, and deliver consistent finishing, and sine wave splices with interlocking fingers that allow smooth travel over contact wheels, reduce hinging, and add strength to the joint area. Warranty terms are provided by the manufacturer but are not specified here.
