Designed for Grinding Jobs Requiring a Balance of Strength and Flexibility Combining the strength of a diamond abrasive and a semi-flexible (Type C) water resistant cloth backing, the 3M™ Flexible Diamond Sheet 6450J is built for achieving refined finishes to hard surfaces. It is available in a range of grades for a variety of uses.
Built Tough, Finishes Fine Diamond mineral abrasive is adhered on 3M™ Flexible Diamond Sheet 6450J using a metal bond. Compared to resin or vitrified bonds, metal bonds tend to be the most tough — helping to strengthen the abrasive sheet and make it more durable. The abrasive characteristics combined with a water-resistant Type C cloth backing create an abrasive that works well on a variety of hard-to-grind materials.
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 stock particles during use, helping reduce loading and prolonging the life of the abrasive surface without sacrificing cut rates.
3M™ Flexible Diamond Sheet 6450J is available in two open dot patterns for a range of uses. Pattern 18 is a small dot pattern equating to 25 pellets per inch. It provides consistent stock removal on very hard materials such as thermal spray coatings and ceramics. The B2 Pattern, equating to 17 pellets per inch, is designed to deliver an aggressive cutting action with improved coolant flow and increased swarf removal.
Better Science for Better Sanding from 3M Part of the 3M portfolio of Superabrasives, the 3M™ Flexible Diamond Sheet 6450J is an outstanding example of how 3M applies science to the lives of professionals in a range of specific industries where excellent grinding and finishing are critical. From its hard diamond mineral abrasive to its flexible cloth backing, it is built by 3M to help businesses like yours operate faster, better and more efficiently.
