Product Details
The 3M™ Cloth Belt 341D measures 2-1/2" x 60" and features 50 grit aluminum oxide abrasive grains resin-bonded to a durable X-weight cotton cloth backing, delivering continuous cut and long-life performance for more 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 run wet. The aluminum oxide mineral is widely used in industrial applications for its cut-rate, durability, and long life, applicable to a variety of materials including ferrous alloys in both woodworking and metalworking. The abrasive particles are bonded with resin to withstand high heat and pressure. Abrasive belts are available in various widths and lengths to fit different belt sanding tools; wider belts suit wide belt sanders for dimensioning or finishing wood panels, smoothing rough cut metal edges, or adding grain patterns to stainless steel. Medium-width belts are for edge sanders sanding flat, narrow surfaces such as panel edges, while narrow belts are compatible with portable belt sanders for sanding or blending wood pieces like cabinet doors. The belts include different splices: film media splices with a joining film that minimizes chatter marks, ensures smooth running, and consistent finishing, and sine wave splices constructed of interlocking fingers that travel smoothly over contact wheels, reduce hinging, and strengthen the joint area, typically used for coarser applications. The product offers a warranty covering defects in material and workmanship.
