3M Cloth Belt 302D is an aluminum oxide belt with open coat construction and a flexible J-weight backing that conforms well for sanding contours and complex parts. It is best-suited for light grinding, finishing, deburring and setting the grain on carbon steel and stainless steel, as well as soft metals like aluminum, brass, bronze and copper.
- Tough aluminum oxide abrasive cuts fast and performs well on most metals
- Flexible cloth backing provides ideal conformability for blending and finishing contours and complex parts
- Open coat construction helps evacuate sanding dust from the belt for a more aggressive cut and longer abrasive life, which means greater productivity
- Suitable for dry metalworking applications
- Resin bonded belt maximizes abrasive life
- Designed for use on backstand grinders, file belt tools and benchtop motors

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is the 3M™ Cloth Belt 302D made of?
The 3M™ Cloth Belt 302D is made up of aluminum oxide mineral abrasive, a flexible J-weight cloth backing with Film-lok for easy attachment to tools and excellent flexibility.
-
How does it compare to other sanding products in terms of durability?
The full-flex fiber support in this belt provides additional toughness while still retaining flexibility during use, giving it longer life than other conventional competitive designs.
-
Can I use the product on wet surfaces?
Yes. The supersize coating with closed coat construction helps make this an ideal choice for projects that require more aggressive cutting action and increased longevity even when used on wet or oily surfaces.
-
Should supports be attached along its back portion before using?
:No, no extra supports are needed due to its fiberglass core material which ensures maximum strength so users can attach these belts right away without any added effort or need for reinforcements.
3M™ Cloth Belt 302D features an open coat construction that helps to channel sanding swarf and dust away from the belt and workpiece, resulting in better visibility and belt performance. The abrasive and backing are resin bonded to ensure that the belt runs until the abrasive is completely worn. This belt is ideal for operations that require added flexibility.
Made with Durable, Fast-Cutting Aluminum OxideAluminum oxide mineral is a popular choice among industrial professionals due to its cut-rate, durability, and long life. It can be used on a wide variety of materials in metalworking, including ferrous alloys, and is the most commonly used industrial abrasive. The abrasive particles are adhered to the cloth backing with resin, creating a strong bond that withstands high heat and pressure.
The Benefits of Open-Coat ConstructionLoading occurs when swarf or paint dust clogs the surface of the belt and the abrasive points, rendering the belt ineffective. Open coat construction means the abrasive grains are spaced slightly apart so that dust and debris have an outlet rather than loading the abrasive. These attributes make 3M™ Cloth Belt 302D great for use on soft metals like aluminum, brass, bronze, and copper. Additionally, the open coat construction provides a more aggressive cut than a comparable closed coat abrasive of the same grade.
