3M™ Cloth Belt 341D, 36 X-weight, 8 in x 107 in, Film-lok, Single-flex, 10 ea/Case

3M™ Cloth Belt 341D is a high-performance abrasive belt designed for aggressive dry sanding applications. The belt features fast-cutting aluminum oxide abrasive grains resin-bonded to a durable X-weight cotton cloth backing, providing continuous cut and long-life performance. Aluminum oxide mineral is a popular choice among industrial professionals due to its cut-rate, durability, and long life. It is commonly used in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys. The abrasive particles are adhered to the cloth backing with resin, creating a strong bond that withstands high heat and pressure. The closed coat construction of the belt offers a consistent, fine finish, making it suitable for finishing on metal and producing a grain pattern. However, it should not be run wet. Abrasive belts come in various widths and lengths and are used on a variety of belt sanding tools for different applications on both wood and metal. 3M offers a broad selection of belts to fit most industrial belt sanders. 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. 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.

Overall, 3M™ Cloth Belt 341D is a reliable and durable abrasive belt that provides continuous cut and long-life performance for aggressive dry sanding applications.
