From lumber dimensioning and planing through final sanding, 3M abrasive cloth belts are engineered for productivity and cost-effective long life. Cloth belts offer a choice of premium aluminum oxide mineral or 3M™ Cubitron™ Abrasive Grain.

Premium aluminum oxide mineral resists loading in intermediate wood sanding to extend belt work life.
3M™ Cubitron™ Abrasive Grain is a ceramic abrasive mineral which "self sharpens" to provide a uniform finish and extended performance over conventional abrasive minerals.
Consistent cut rate on all woods from dimensioning through final sanding
Reduced burning on "end-grain" sanding
