Product Details
The 3M™ 340D cloth belt measures 43" x 75" and features a P180 grit aluminum oxide composition, specifically designed for industries involved in primary wood and panel processing, with applications in wide belt sanding. This premium grade, open coat aluminum oxide cloth belt offers exceptional durability for aggressive stock removal, resists loading, and is suitable for a range of applications on both wood and metal surfaces. The fast-cutting aluminum oxide abrasive grains are resin-bonded to a durable cotton cloth backing, ensuring a continuous cut and long life. Its open coat and load-resistant coating make it particularly effective for sanding soft woods, while the washable backing is ideal for high production environments where frequent cleaning may be required to eliminate soft wood resin or pitch buildup. Aluminum oxide is a widely used mineral in industrial applications due to its cutting efficiency, durability, and longevity, allowing for use on a variety of materials, including ferrous alloys. The abrasive particles adhere to the cloth backing with resin, providing a robust bond that withstands high heat and pressure. This cloth belt is compatible with various belt sanding tools, available in different widths and lengths for diverse applications, including dimensioning or finishing wood panels, smoothing rough edges of metal sheets, and adding grain patterns to stainless steel. Additionally, the belts come equipped with various splices that join the belt ends, and a film media is included in the package.
