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

What does "Lap Skived" mean in relation to this product?
-
"Lap Skived" refers to how the abrasives on this belt have been cut during manufacturing, allowing for smoother operation and more consistent results.
How many belts come in a case of the Full-flex option?
-
The Full-flex version of the 3M™ Cloth Belt 302D comes with a total of 50 belts per case, making it convenient for bulk purchases or larger projects.
3M Cloth Belt 302D is designed with an open coat construction, which allows for better visibility and improved belt performance by channeling sanding swarf and dust away from the belt and workpiece. The abrasive and backing are resin bonded, ensuring that the belt continues to run smoothly until the abrasive is completely worn. This belt is particularly recommended for operations that require added flexibility.
Made with Durable, Fast-Cutting Aluminum OxideOur 3M Cloth Belt 302D is made with aluminum oxide mineral, a popular choice among industrial professionals due to its exceptional cut-rate, durability, and long life. This mineral is widely used in metalworking, including ferrous alloys, and is considered the most commonly used industrial abrasive. The abrasive particles are firmly adhered to the cloth backing using resin, creating a strong bond that can withstand high heat and pressure.
The Benefits of Open-Coat ConstructionLoading, which occurs when swarf or paint dust clogs the surface of the belt and the abrasive points, can render a belt ineffective. However, our 3M Cloth Belt 302D features an open coat construction, where the abrasive grains are spaced slightly apart. This design allows dust and debris to escape, preventing loading and ensuring consistent performance. The open coat construction also provides a more aggressive cut compared to a comparable closed coat abrasive of the same grade.
Due to its open coat construction, our 3M Cloth Belt 302D is particularly suitable for use on soft metals such as aluminum, brass, bronze, and copper. Its ability to effectively remove material while preventing loading makes it an excellent choice for various applications.
