PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is the 3M™ Cross Pad 341D?
The 3M™ Cross Pad 341D is a sanding tool in the shape of a square pad that comes with an X-weight abrasive backing.
-
What size is the pad and how many come in each package?
This particular model has dimensions of 3-1/2 inches by 3-1/2 inches by 1-1/2 inches. There are a total of fifty pads per inner pack, and one hundred pads per case.
-
What grit level does this pad have?
The Cross Pad has a grit level of eighty (80), which makes it perfect for removing coatings, rust, and weld burns from metal.
-
Can this product be used on other materials besides metal?
Yes! In fact, you can use these abrasive cross pads on most plastics, woods, composites or painted surfaces — just make sure to do some testing before using them extensively.
-
; Is there any special technique needed to use these cross pads efficiently?
; Not exactly. To get started with your project all you need to do is attach them to any compatible Hand sanding block or random orbital sander. Just remember that they should not be so much pressure applied while working over delicate areas like corners.
The 3M™ Cross Pad 341D is a versatile abrasive tool that supports both grinding and polishing applications. It features a X-weight cloth backing that provides durability and flexibility. The closed coat of aluminum oxide abrasive is secured with a heat-resistant resin bond, making it ideal for close-tolerance polishing or deburring.
To use the cross pad, it attaches to a threaded mandrel (sold separately) that connects to a rotary tool such as a die grinder or drill. This allows the user to grind or finish the inner contours of various-sized channels. The maximum RPM depends on the size of the pad.
Aluminum oxide is a popular choice among industrial professionals due to its fast cut-rate and long life. This mineral creates a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, unlike traditional natural abrasives that dull more quickly. It is widely used in grinding applications, as well as sanding and finishing applications. Aluminum oxide is suitable for a wide variety of materials in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.
The heat-resistant resin bond adheres the abrasive particles to the cloth backing, creating a strong, stiff bond that withstands the high heat and pressure of heavy sanding. This ensures a consistent finish and long-lasting performance.
