Product Details
The 3M™ Cloth Belt 341D measures 4" x 24" and features 60 grit aluminum oxide abrasive grains resin-bonded to a durable X-weight cotton cloth backing, designed for fast-cutting and long-life performance in aggressive dry sanding applications. It is intended for metal finishing, with a closed coat construction that offers a consistent fine finish and is suitable for producing a grain pattern; this belt is not designed for wet use. The aluminum oxide mineral provides excellent cut rate, durability, and longevity, applicable to a wide range of materials including ferrous alloys in both woodworking and metalworking. The abrasive particles are strongly bonded to the cloth backing with resin to withstand high heat and pressure. These abrasive belts come in various widths and lengths to fit different belt sanding tools and applications; wider belts are used with wide belt sanders for dimensioning or finishing wood panels and smoothing metal edges, medium-width belts fit edge sanders for sanding panels and narrow surfaces, and narrow belts are intended for portable belt sanders for sanding or blending wood pieces such as cabinet doors. The belts feature different splices to join belt ends, including film media splices that provide a secure bond with minimal chatter marks for smooth operation and consistent finishing, and sine wave splices constructed of interlocking fingers that enhance smooth travel over contact wheels, reduce hinging, and add joint strength, typically used for coarser grit belts. Warranty information is provided but its specific terms are not detailed in this description.
