3M Cloth Belt 302D is an aluminum oxide belt with open coat construction and a flexible J-weight backing that conforms well for sanding contours and complex parts. It is best-suited for light grinding, finishing, deburring and setting the grain on carbon steel and stainless steel, as well as soft metals like aluminum, brass, bronze and copper.

Built with Added Flexibility
3M Cloth Belt 302D has an open coat construction that helps channel sanding swarf and dust away from the belt and workpiece for better visibility and belt performance. The abrasive and backing are resin bonded to keep the belt running until the abrasive is completely worn. We recommend you select this belt for operations that require added flexibility.

Made with Durable, Fast-Cutting Aluminum Oxide
Aluminum oxide mineral is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its cut-rate, durability, and long life. It can be used on a wide variety of materials in metalworking, including ferrous alloys, and is the most commonly used industrial abrasive. The abrasive particles are adhered to the cloth backing with resin, creating a strong bond that withstands high heat and pressure.

The Benefits of Open-Coat Construction
Loading occurs when swarf or paint dust clogs the surface of the belt and the abrasive points, rendering the belt ineffective. Open coat construction means the abrasive grains are spaced slightly apart so that dust and debris have an outlet rather than loading the abrasive. These attributes make 3M Cloth Belt 302D great for use on soft metals like aluminum, brass, bronze and copper. Additionally, the open coat construction provides a more aggressive cut than a comparable closed coat abrasive of the same grade.

Trusted 3M Cloth Belt

The 3M Cloth Belt 302D offers reliable performance with its well-known brand and model. This belt is designed to meet industrial standards, ensuring consistent results for your sanding needs.

Its P280 J-weight grade backing provides the right balance of flexibility and durability, making it suitable for various metalworking tasks. You can trust this belt for quality and longevity.

Precise Size And Format

This belt measures 3 inches by 132 inches, fitting most backstand grinders and benchtop motors. The size ensures you get ample sanding surface for extended use without frequent replacements.

It features Film-lok technology and a full-flex design, which enhances its adaptability to contours and complex parts. These specs make it ideal for detailed finishing and blending work.

Open Coat Construction Benefits

The open coat construction helps clear sanding dust from the belt, preventing clogging and maintaining aggressive cutting action. This design extends the abrasive life and boosts productivity.

Because of this, the belt performs well on soft metals like aluminum, brass, bronze, and copper. It also works effectively on carbon steel and stainless steel, making it versatile for metalworking.

Durable Aluminum Oxide Abrasive

The belt uses tough aluminum oxide abrasive, known for fast cutting and long-lasting performance. This mineral is widely used in industry for its ability to handle various metals efficiently.

Resin bonding secures the abrasive to the cloth backing, allowing the belt to withstand heat and pressure during heavy use. This ensures consistent sanding quality over time.

Bulk Pack Convenience

This product comes in a case of 50 belts, perfect for workshops or production environments needing a steady supply. The pack size helps reduce downtime by keeping plenty of belts on hand.

Having 25 belts per pack within the case also makes storage and inventory management easier. This quantity supports continuous work without frequent reordering.
