3M Cloth Belt 361F comes with fast-cutting aluminum oxide abrasive grains bonded to heavy polyester cloth backing. Its durable, heat-resistant resin supports both wet and dry applications. Grades of P100 and lower are backed with YF-weight polyester, and grades higher than P100 are backed with slightly less stiff XF-weight polyester.
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 both woodworking and 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.
Abrasive belts come in many different widths and lengths and are used on a variety of belt sanding tools for many different metalworking applications. At 3M we offer a broad selection of belts to fit most any industrial belt sander. Wider belts are designed for wide belt sanders for flat finishing—to smooth rough cut edges of metal sheets, or add a grain pattern to stainless steel sheets. Medium-width belts are generally used on a backstand for weld removal or on a feed -thru style flat finisher for imparting a finish on sheets or coils. Narrow belts can be used on backstands for grinding and finishing, or on file tools for finishing in right angle corners.

Its format as a case of 5 belts ensures you have enough supply for ongoing projects. This pack count supports continuous work without frequent reordering, saving time and effort in busy workshops.
Durable XF-weight Backing
The XF-weight polyester backing offers toughness and flexibility, supporting medium-pressure applications. This backing type is slightly less stiff than YF-weight, providing a good balance between durability and adaptability.
Such backing ensures consistent results when grinding sheets or coils, especially in stainless steel coil finishing. The belt’s construction helps maintain performance even under demanding conditions.
Effective P150 Abrasive Grade
The P150 grade abrasive is ideal for fast cutting and smooth finishing on metals. It uses aluminum oxide grains that are known for their durability and ability to work well on various surfaces.
This grade is particularly useful for blending, deburring, and finishing tasks. It supports both wet and dry applications, making it versatile for different working environments.
Film-lok Technology Benefits
Film-lok technology bonds the abrasive grains firmly to the backing, enhancing heat resistance and durability. This helps the belt withstand pressure, heat, and water during use.
Such technology extends the belt’s life and maintains cutting efficiency. It’s especially beneficial in applications requiring consistent performance over time, such as centerless grinding and backstand operations.
