Product Details
The 3M™ cloth belt 341D measures 1" x 42" and features P180 grit aluminum oxide abrasive grains resin-bonded to a durable X-weight cotton cloth backing, designed to deliver continuous cut and long-life performance for more aggressive dry sanding applications. It is intended 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 used wet. The aluminum oxide mineral is known for its cut-rate, durability, and long life and is widely used on various materials including ferrous alloys in woodworking and metalworking. The abrasive particles are securely adhered to the cloth backing with a resin bond that withstands high heat and pressure. These abrasive belts come in various widths and lengths to fit a range of sanding tools and applications, with wider belts used on wide belt sanders for dimensioning or finishing wood panels and metal sheets, medium-width belts for edge sanders on flat, narrow surfaces, and narrow belts for portable sanders used in blending or sanding small wood pieces. The belts include different splice types to join the belt ends: a film media splice provides a secure bond that minimizes chatter marks for smooth running and consistent finishing, while a sine wave splice, made of interlocking fingers, enables smooth travel over contact wheels, reduces hinging, and adds strength to the joint area. The product complies with relevant industrial standards and is backed by the appropriate 3M warranty according to terms provided.
