3M™ 364UZ Wide and Flat Abrasive Belt, 52 in W x 103 in L, P180 Grit, Very Fine Grade, Aluminum Oxide Abrasive
Item #BC830078
3M™ Abrasive Belt, Wide and Flat, 103 in Length, 52 in Width, P180, Very Fine, Aluminum Oxide Abrasive, F-Weight Paper Backing, Open Coat, Applicable Materials: Hardwood and Softwood Applicable
- The paper backing of our 3M™ paper belt provides smooth operation and durability. The abrasive side features an open coat structure. The open coat construction resists loading better than closed coat belts, particularly on soft wood. This belt also features our 3M dust management technology that reduces static cling in the dust particles, allowing them to be evacuated more easily when coupled with an efficient dust collection system. To support desired finishing results, the belt ends are joined using a sine wave splice that promotes belt strength and resists hinging and splice fatigue. The splice travels smoothly over contact wheels and platens, minimizes chatter marks, and promotes smooth operation in either direction for consistent finishing results. 3M™ paper belt features a premium aluminum oxide abrasive, which is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its cut-rate and long life. This mineral is a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges in use, whereas traditional abrasives, such as garnet, quickly wear down with use. Due to its high cut-rate, hardness, strength, and low heat retention, aluminum oxide mineral is widely used for sanding and finishing applications. Aluminum oxide is suitable on a wide variety of substrates in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys. Abrasive belts come in many different widths and lengths and are used on a variety of different belt sanders for many different applications on both wood and metal. 3M offers a broad selection of belts to fit most any industrial belt sander. Wider belts are used to dimension and sand large wood panels, smooth rough cut edges of metal sheets, or add a grain pattern to stainless steel sheets. Medium-width belts fit onto edge or portable belt sanders for sanding or blending wood pieces such as cabinet doors.
- It resists loading with an open coat construction and is coated on an F-weight paper backing to efficiently sand and finish
- F-weight is one of the heaviest, most rigid paper backings available and will achieve finer finishes than cloth backed belts in the same grade
- Anti-static resistant treatment helps manage dust and loading
- Premium aluminum oxide mineral provides aggressive cut and long abrasive life
- Sine wave splice prevents hinging in splice area, resists fatigue, and minimizes chatter marks
- Sine wave splice
