3M™ Cloth Belt 341D comes with fast-cutting
aluminum oxide abrasive grains resin-bonded to a durable X-weight cotton
cloth backing to provide you with continuous cut and long-life
performance necessary for more aggressive dry sanding applications. For
finishing on metal, the closed coat construction offers a consistent,
fine finish, and is suitable for producing a grain pattern. This belt
should not be run wet.
Aluminum oxide mineral is a popular choice
among industrial professionals because of its cut-rate, durability, and
long life. It can be used on a wide variety of materials in both
woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys, and is the most
commonly used industrial abrasive. The abrasive particles are adhered to
the cloth backing with resin, creating a strong bond that withstands
high heat and pressure.
Abrasive belts come in many different widths
and lengths and are used on a variety of different belt sanding tools
for many different applications on both wood and metal. At 3M we offer a
broad selection of belts to fit most any industrial belt sander. Wider
belts are used with wide belt sanders to dimension or finish wood
panels, smooth rough cut edges of metal sheets, or add a grain pattern
to stainless steel sheets. Medium-width belts fit onto edge sanders for
sanding flat, narrow surfaces such as panel edges; and narrow belts are
used with portable belt sanders for sanding or blending wood pieces such
as cabinet doors.
Belts come with various splices that join the belt ends. A film media
splice achieves a secure bond with a joining film that minimizes
chatter marks, ensures a smooth running belt, and produces consistent
finishing results. A sine wave splice is constructed of interlocking
fingers that enable the splice to travel smoothly over contact wheels,
reduce hinging, and provide added strength to the joint area. Sine wave
splices are typically used for coarser grades and wide belts.
