3M™ Cloth Spiral Band 747D, 1 in x 1/2 in 80 X-Weight, 100 ea/Case

For a fast continuous cut and long-life durable performance on aggressive applications, a blend of aluminum oxide and 3M™ Ceramic Abrasive Grain is resin-bonded to a durable cotton backing. Resin creates a strong bond that withstands high heat and pressure, and a grinding aid on the band reduces grinding temperatures to protect heat-sensitive alloys.

The band fits onto a rubber wheel attachment (such as a cushion polishing wheel or a rubber slotted expander wheel, both sold separately) for use with a die grinder or rotary drill. The bands come in a range of widths and lengths to suit different contours and tasks, and are often used in foundry work.

​3M™ Ceramic Abrasive Grain is a ceramic mineral designed using a proprietary process to enhance toughness and hardness of the grain. Ceramic blend products feature aluminum oxide blended with ceramic grain for a harder, longer-lasting abrasive. Perfect for stock removal, ceramic abrasives are engineered to fracture frequently for a super fast cut and can handle intense heat and stress applications. Ceramic/aluminum oxide blend surpasses aluminum oxide abrasives in cut-rate and durability and makes 3M™ Cloth Band 747D an excellent choice for moderate stock removal and surface preparation.

• Tube-shaped band fits inner and outer contours to remove parting lines, imperfections, and burrs
• Ceramic/aluminum oxide blend offers excellent cut rate and life for increased performance over traditional abrasives when sanding on whitewood and metal substrates
• Durable cotton backing withstands aggressive sanding and grinding
• Grinding aid reduces grinding temperatures for processes involving heat-sensitive alloys such as stainless steel and nickel alloys
• Resin bond withstands high heat and pressure
