Product Details
The 3M™ cloth belt 341D measures 3" x 23-3/4" and features 36 grit aluminum oxide abrasive grains resin-bonded to a durable x-weight cotton cloth backing, providing continuous cut and long-life performance for more aggressive dry sanding applications. It is designed for finishing on metal with a closed coat construction that offers a consistent, fine finish and is suitable for producing a grain pattern. This belt should not be run wet. The aluminum oxide mineral is known for its cut-rate, durability, and long life and is suitable for use on a wide variety of materials in woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys. The abrasive particles are adhered with resin to withstand high heat and pressure. Available in various widths and lengths, these belts are compatible with a range of belt sanding tools and applications on wood and metal, including wide belts for dimensioning or finishing wood panels, smoothing rough cut metal edges, or adding grain patterns to stainless steel sheets; medium-width belts for edge sanders used on flat, narrow surfaces such as panel edges; and narrow belts for portable belt sanders for sanding or blending wood pieces like cabinet doors. The belts feature various splices such as film media splices, which provide a secure bond with a joining film to minimize chatter marks and ensure smooth running and consistent finishing, and sine wave splices constructed of interlocking fingers to travel smoothly over contact wheels, reduce hinging, and add strength to the joint area.
