Grinding Belts

Grinding aid cools abrasive processes on heat-sensitive alloys Suitable for wet and dry applications on all metals For optimal durability and price value, YF weight polyester backing is used for Grades 36-80, while lighter XF weight polyester backing is used for Grades 120-180 Durable resin bond resists deterioration from heat, extending the life of the abrasive cloth Durable resin bond resists deterioration from heat, extending the life of the belt 3M™ Cubitron™ ll Cloth Belt 784F features 3M Precision Shaped Grain. Our cloth belts are a precise mix of shaped ceramic and premium aluminium oxide. They have a flexible J-weight cotton backing and open coat construction. The belts also feature a waterproof backing and grinding aid. Use 3M™ Cubitron™ ll Cloth Belt 784F for a durable, faster, and more consistent cut than aluminium oxide belts. A precise mix of shaped ceramic and premium aluminium oxide delivers optimal cut in medium pressure grinding and blending applications. Our cloth belts cut exceptionally fast and self-renew during grinding. These high performing belts deliver cost effective performance on medium pressure applications, where a full ceramic belt may be underutilised. With their water resistant polyester backing, these belts can be run wet or dry. To protect heat sensitive alloys such as stainless steel, titanium, nickel alloys and cobalt alloys from heat related stress cracks and discolouration, a grinding aid has been added to reduce grinding temperatures. Additionally, the abrasive is firmly bonded to the backing with resin to maintain durability under high heat and pressure. Coarse grades 36-80 have a YF weight backing, while finer grades of 120-180 have a lighter XF weight backing. Both weights are moderately flexible and conform well to slight contours and flat surfaces. The science of 3M™ Precision Shaped Grain Blend 3M Precision Shaped Grain signifies a major advancement in abrasive technology. PSG is a ceramic mineral designed using a proprietary process to enhance toughness and hardness of the grain. 3M scientists then went one step further and engineered the mineral to form uniform triangular shaped grains that continually fracture into super-sharp points and edges that slice through the substrate, rather than gouging or ‘ploughing’ like conventional abrasives. PSG creates a super-fast cut and lessens heat build-up on the workpiece, reducing heat related stress cracks and discolouration. Moreover, because PSG stays cooler and sharper, it lasts longer than conventional abrasives. For increased performance, 784F belts feature premium aluminium oxide blended with PSG for a sharper, longer lasting abrasive.

3M Precision Shaped Grain continuously fractures into sharp points that cut exceptionally fast, helping increase productivity. Engineered to run cooler, reducing metal discoloration/oxidation and the chance of heat related stress cracks.Precision Shaped Grain requires less pressure, which can mean less operator fatigue.Belt life is significantly longer, producing more parts per belt and requiring fewer belt changes.Ceramic grain is engineered to run cooler, reducing metal discoloration/oxidation and the chance of heat-related stress cracks. 3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belt 984F offers revolutionary performance with 3M Precision Shaped Grain on a YF-weight polyester cloth backing. This high-performing belt contains a grinding aid, making it ideal for medium to high pressure applications on stainless steel and other exotic alloys, along with carbon steel, cobalt chrome, and nickel alloys. Creating a fast cut with a reduced heat build-up, 3M™ Cubitron™ II Cloth Belts 984F ensure a uniform finish over the life of the product while eliminating burning during end grain sanding applications. Our cloth belts use 3M™ Ceramic Abrasive Grain which is electrostatically orientated to form sharp peaks which act like individual cutting tools, slicing through metal quickly. These peaks continuously self-sharpen as they break off, providing long life and consistency with less grinding pressure. This is why our belt products can outcut and outlast every conventional ceramic industrial abrasive product on the market. They have a fabric splice, adding strength when grinding in medium to high pressure applications. Our abrasive belts come in a variety of widths and sizes to fit almost any industrial belt sander. Narrow belts are used with portable belt sanders for grinding or blending. Medium belts are used on backstands to remove wields, material removal and to set the grain in stainless steel while wider belts are used with wide belt sanders to dimension metal sheets and coils.
