Product Description
- Heavyweight cloth backing is especially suited for coarser grades on wide belt and edge sanding applications
- Open coat construction and anti-static treatment reduce loading for enhanced cut-rate and optimal abrasive life in woodworking applications
- Premium aluminum oxide offers improved cut and abrasive life
- Resin bond withstands high heat and pressure for longer service life
- Washable backing is suitable for sanding wood with a lot of pitch/resin (belts load quickly) such as pine
Fast-cutting aluminum oxide abrasive grains are resin-bonded to a heavyweight cloth backing to provide you with continuous cut and long-life performance, even under high heat and pressure.
3M Cloth Belt 370DZ resists premature loading and maintains effective cut with its open coat construction and anti-static treatment. Reduced static on the belt optimizes dust collection when used with an efficient dust collection system. We manufacture this belt with a washable backing for high production environments where washing may be required at intervals to remove pitch buildup from soft woods such as pine. If washing the belt, the product should be taken off the machine and washed offline. The product should be hung on a rack and allowed to thoroughly dry before using it again.
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 different belt sanding machines for many different applications on both wood and metal. At 3M we offer a broad selection of belts to fit most any industrial belt sander. Wider belts are used with wide belt sanders to dimension or finish wood panels, smooth rough cut edges of metal sheets, or add a grain pattern to stainless steel sheets. Medium-width belts fit onto edge sanders for sanding flat, narrow surfaces such as panel edges; and narrow belts are used with portable belt sanders for sanding or leveling joint areas of wood pieces.
Belts come with various splices that join the belt ends. A film media splice achieves a secure bond with a joining film that minimizes chatter marks, ensures a smooth running belt, and produces consistent finishing results. A sine wave splice is constructed of interlocking fingers that enable the splice to travel smoothly over contact wheels, reduce hinging, and provide added strength to the joint area. Sine wave splices are typically used for coarser grades and wide belts as well as on belts that are going to be washed.

Optimal 80 Y-Weight Backing
The 80 Y-weight cloth backing provides strength and flexibility, supporting both rough sanding and finishing applications. This weight is well-suited for the demands of wide belt sanders and edge sanders alike.
With its resin bond, the backing withstands high heat and pressure, extending the belt’s service life even under tough industrial conditions.
Precise 43 Inch Dimensions
Measuring 43 inches by 75 inches, this belt fits a variety of sanding machines designed for wide belt sanding. The size allows for efficient sanding of large wood panels or metal sheets.
These dimensions also make the belt versatile enough for edge sanding tasks, smoothing narrow surfaces and panel edges with ease.
Film-Lok Single-Flex Technology
The Film-lok splice technology ensures a smooth running belt with minimal chatter marks. This single-flex design improves belt durability and finishing consistency during use.
Such splicing is especially beneficial for wide belts like the 370DZ, helping maintain performance and reducing downtime caused by belt damage.
Convenient Case Pack Count
This product comes in a case of 3 belts, providing enough supply for continuous work without frequent reordering. The pack size supports high production environments efficiently.
Having multiple belts on hand is useful for sanding jobs involving woods with high pitch or resin content, where belts may need washing and drying between uses.
