The 3M 1" x 30" 80 Grit Ceramic Aluminum Oxide Medium Abrasive Belt features a proprietary ceramic aluminum oxide grain blend, which offers a higher cut-rate compared to traditional aluminum oxide abrasives. This durable belt is designed to optimize productivity, allowing more parts to be processed per belt, which in turn minimizes the need for frequent belt changes. It is engineered with a heavyweight polyester backing, making it suitable for high-pressure applications and adaptable to both wet and dry conditions. The belt includes a grinding aid specifically formulated to reduce heat generation, particularly on stainless steel and other exotic metal surfaces. Additionally, it is constructed with a robust resin bond that withstands heat deterioration, thereby enhancing the longevity of the belt during usage.
