3M™ Cloth Belt 967F, 3 in x 132 in, 24 YF-weight, 25 ea/Case

The 3M Cloth Belt 967F is a high-performance grinding belt designed for use on titanium and other heat-sensitive materials. It incorporates a grinding aid that helps to prevent overheating during dry grinding. This makes it ideal for use in medium to high pressure applications, such as random grinding systems or roll grinding applications. The belt features a heavyweight backing that provides improved adhesion and resistance to shelling compared to other cloth backings. This ensures that it can withstand demanding applications and maintain a consistent cut-rate. The backing is resin-bonded, making it highly durable and able to withstand high heat and pressure. The 3M Cloth Belt 967F is commonly used for a variety of applications, including descaling, gate removal, high pressure grinding, intermediate finishing, parting line removal, and shaping. Its versatility and durability make it a reliable choice for a wide range of industrial grinding tasks. One of the key features of the 3M Cloth Belt 967F is its proprietary 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain. This ceramic mineral is chemically engineered with a unique "stay sharp" crystalline structure. This structure ensures that fresh cutting edges are continually revealed on the surface of the workpiece, resulting in a sustained cut. The grain is formed using a proprietary process that enhances its toughness and hardness, ensuring a long product life and significant productivity benefits. Abrasives made with 3M ceramic abrasive grain offer outstanding durability and improved cutting efficiencies. They have a long service life, cut exceptionally fast, and can withstand high pressure production environments, even when used on the toughest materials. This makes them a reliable choice for demanding grinding applications. 3M Cloth Belt 967F is available in various widths and lengths to suit different belt sanding tools. It can be used on both wood and metal surfaces, making it a versatile option for a range of applications. For wood applications, 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 are suitable for edge sanders and are used to sand flat, narrow surfaces such as panel edges. Narrow belts are used with portable belt sanders for sanding or blending wood pieces, such as cabinet doors. The 3M Cloth Belt 967F features a film splice, which provides added strength when grinding in high pressure applications. This ensures that the belt remains secure and reliable, even under demanding conditions. Overall, the 3M Cloth Belt 967F is a high-performance grinding belt that offers superior performance on heat-sensitive materials. Its durable construction, proprietary ceramic abrasive grain, and versatile design make it a reliable choice for a wide range of grinding applications.
