3M Flexible Diamond Band 6457J is ideal for hard-to-grind materials. The diamond abrasive is metal-bonded to a flexible backing for both durability and the ability to work on contours. The band is ideal for use on rubber wheel attachments like cushion polishing wheels and rubber slotted expander wheels (both sold separately).
- Round band fits inner and outer workpiece contours
- Diamond mineral excels at cutting hard-to-grind materials
- Flexible backing readily conforms to contours
- Metal bonding adds durability and long belt life
- Open dot pattern helps minimize loading, prolonging abrasive life
- Bands fit onto a rubber expander wheel attachment (sold separately)

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is the 3M™ Flexible Diamond Band 6457J?
The 3M™ Flexible Diamond Band 6457J is a flexible diamond abrasive that's perfect for grinding and finishing hard-to-reach areas.
-
What type of pattern does it have?
This diamond band has an M125 pattern, which means that there are approximately 125 grains of diamonds per square millimeter.
-
How wide and long is each band?
Each band measures three-quarters of an inch wide by one inch long.
-
How many bands come in an inner pack, and how many packs come in a case?
There are either 18 or 20 bands per inner pack (depending on grit size), and there are a total of 100 inner packs in each case.
-
What applications would this diamond band be suitable for?
The flexibility and versatility of this diamond abrasive makes it ideal for intricate metalworking projects involving pipes, tubing, or small parts like gears.
Excels at Light-Pressure Grinding on Contoured surfaces
3M™ Flexible Diamond Band 6457J is a diamond abrasive that combines strength with a flexible, conformable backing. It is designed to achieve refined finishes, even around contours. This diamond abrasive is most suitable for blending and finish sanding of contours. It is built for use on hard-to-grind surfaces including thermal sprays, carbides, composites, chilled iron, non-ferrous metals, and glass.
Built Tough, Finishes Fine
The diamond mineral particles on 3M™ Flexible Diamond Band 6457J are adhered using a metal bond. Metal bonds tend to be very tough, which helps to retain the diamond abrasive and make it more durable. This flexible cloth backing works very well for complicated geometries.
Open Dot Pattern: What Does It Mean?
The open dot pattern on each 3M™ Flexible Diamond abrasive product means that the diamond mineral particles are adhered to the backing in a series of small dots. This is designed to provide aggressive cutting action while also allowing consistent space for evacuation of swarf during use. It helps reduce loading and prolongs the life of the abrasive surface without sacrificing cut rates.
