The 3M 6" x 48" 50 Grit Coated Ceramic Aluminum Oxide Coarse Abrasive Belt features a ceramic aluminum oxide grain blend designed to surpass traditional aluminum oxide abrasives in cut-rate efficiency. The heavyweight polyester backing is robust enough to support high-pressure and tough applications and can be utilized in both wet and dry environments. Furthermore, the belt includes a grinding aid that helps reduce heat buildup, enhancing performance particularly when working with stainless steel and other exotic metals. The durable resin bond on this belt resists deterioration from heat, contributing to the extended life of the abrasive material.
