Product Details
The 3M™ 341D cloth belt measures 6" x 48" and features a P320 grit aluminum oxide abrasive, identified by part number 60440197279. This product is applicable across various industries, including builders hardware, medical instruments, metal fabrication, metal implants, plating and polishing, plumbing fixtures, primary wood and panel processing, and turbine engines. Designed for multiple applications, it excels in blending, centerless and cylindrical grinding, deburring, descaling, edge sanding, fine finishing, flat finishing, gate removal, grinding, intermediate finishing, mill scale removal, parting line removal, radiusing, and shaping. The cloth belt features fast-cutting aluminum oxide abrasive grains that are resin-bonded to a durable X-weight cotton cloth backing, providing continuous cut and long-life performance essential for aggressive dry sanding applications. It is designed for metal finishing, with a closed coat construction that offers a consistent, fine finish and is suitable for producing a grain pattern. It should not be used wet. Aluminum oxide is favored among industrial professionals for its cutting rate, durability, and long lifecycle, making it effective on a wide range of materials in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys, and it is the most commonly utilized industrial abrasive. The resin bond creates a robust adhesion between the abrasive particles and the cloth backing, enabling the belt to withstand high heat and pressure. 3M™ offers a comprehensive selection of belts compatible with most industrial belt sanders, as wider belts are suitable for wide belt sanders to dimension or finish wood panels and smooth rough-cut edges of metal sheets, while medium-width belts are intended for edge sanders to sand flat, narrow surfaces such as panel edges, and narrow belts are meant for portable belt sanders used for sanding or blending wood pieces like cabinet doors.
