Product Details
The 3M™ Cloth Belt 341D 4" x 36" 36 Grit Aluminum Oxide features fast-cutting aluminum oxide abrasive grains resin-bonded to a durable X-weight cotton cloth backing, providing continuous cut and long-life performance for aggressive dry sanding applications. It is designed for finishing on metal with a closed coat construction that offers a consistent, fine finish suitable for producing a grain pattern, and it should not be used wet. The aluminum oxide mineral is favored in industrial use for its cut rate, durability, and longevity, suitable for a wide range of materials including ferrous alloys in woodworking and metalworking. The abrasive particles are bonded to the cloth backing with resin, creating a strong bond capable of withstanding high heat and pressure. The belt dimensions are 4 inches in width and 36 inches in length, compatible with various belt sanding tools across applications on wood and metal. Different widths serve different purposes: wide belts for wide belt sanders used in dimensioning or finishing wood panels and smoothing metal edges, medium-width belts for edge sanders on flat narrow surfaces like panel edges, and narrow belts for portable sanders on wood pieces such as cabinet doors. Belt splices include options such as a film media splice, which secures the belt ends with a joining film to minimize chatter marks and ensure smooth running and consistent finishing, and sine wave splices constructed of interlocking fingers for smooth travel over contact wheels, reduced hinging, and added joint strength. Warranty terms and specific certifications or compliance details were not provided in the original description.
