Product Details
3M™ 341D cloth belt measures 4" x 24" and features a 50 grit aluminum oxide composition, identified by part number 60440201436. It is suitable for use in various industries, including metal fabrication and primary wood and panel processing. Key applications for this belt include blending, deburring, portable belt sanding, setting the grain, and achieving a straight-line brushed finish. The cloth belt is designed with fast-cutting aluminum oxide abrasive grains that are resin-bonded to a durable X-weight cotton cloth backing, ensuring continuous cut and long-life performance for aggressive dry sanding applications. The closed coat construction provides a consistent, fine finish suitable for producing a grain pattern, and the belt is not intended for wet use. Aluminum oxide is widely recognized for its cutting efficiency, durability, and longevity, making it ideal for both woodworking and metalworking, including use on ferrous alloys. The abrasive particles are adhered to the cloth backing with resin to create a strong bond capable of withstanding high heat and pressure. The abrasive belts are available in various widths and lengths, compatible with a range of belt sanding tools for diverse applications on wood and metal. 3M™ offers a selection of belts designed to fit most industrial belt sanders, with wider belts used on wide belt sanders for dimensioning or finishing wood panels, and medium-width belts fitting edge sanders for sanding flat surfaces. Narrow belts are suitable for portable belt sanders, ideal for sanding or blending wood pieces such as cabinet doors. The belts come with various splices, including a film media splice that provides a secure bond with minimal chatter marks and consistent finishing results, and a sine wave splice constructed of interleaved segments for added strength.
