Product Details
3M™ 340D cloth belt measures 43" x 75" and features an 80 grit aluminum oxide composition. This product is designed for industries involved in primary wood and panel processing and is well-suited for wide belt sanding applications. The open coat premium grade aluminum oxide cloth belt provides durability for aggressive stock removal, resists loading, and is effective on both wood and metal surfaces. Its fast-cutting aluminum oxide abrasive grains are resin-bonded to a robust cotton cloth backing, ensuring continuous cutting and long life. The load-resistant coating and washable backing enhance this belt's performance in high production environments, making it particularly favorable for sanding soft woods by allowing for periodic washing to remove resin or pitch buildup. Aluminum oxide is favored among industrial professionals for its balance of cut rate, durability, and longevity, making it suitable for a variety of materials including ferrous alloys. The resin adherence of abrasive particles to the cloth backing enables the belt to withstand high heat and pressure while ensuring a strong bond. 3M offers a wide selection of belts to accommodate various industrial belt sanders, with wider belts tailored for wide belt sanders aimed at dimensioning or finishing wood panels, medium-width belts for edge sanders to sand flat, narrow surfaces, and narrow belts for portable sanding applications. The belt configuration includes various splices for joining the ends.
