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.
3M Cloth Belt Model
The 3M Cloth Belt 370DZ is designed for demanding sanding tasks. This model features a heavyweight cloth backing that supports both rough sanding and fine finishing, making it a versatile choice for many projects.
Its open coat construction and anti-static treatment help reduce loading and optimize dust collection. This ensures the belt maintains its cutting ability longer, especially in woodworking applications.
Premium Grade Aluminum Oxide
This belt uses premium aluminum oxide abrasive grains, known for their fast-cutting ability and durability. The resin bond secures the grains firmly, allowing the belt to withstand high heat and pressure during use.
Aluminum oxide is popular in both woodworking and metalworking, suitable for materials including ferrous alloys. This makes the 370DZ a reliable choice across various industrial sanding needs.
Size And Dimensions
The belt measures 37 inches by 60 inches, providing ample surface area for wide belt sanding machines. This size is ideal for dimensioning or finishing wood panels and smoothing metal sheet edges.
Its dimensions also make it compatible with edge sanders and portable belt sanders, allowing for sanding flat surfaces, panel edges, and joint areas with precision and ease.
Film-lok Single-flex Technology
The Film-lok splice technology ensures a smooth running belt by securely bonding the ends with a joining film. This reduces chatter marks and delivers consistent finishing results on every use.
Single-flex design adds flexibility, making the belt easier to handle and less prone to damage during operation. This feature is especially useful for wide belts and coarser grades.
Case Of Five Belts
This product comes as a case of 5 belts, providing good value for high production environments. Having multiple belts on hand helps maintain workflow without frequent reordering.
The belts also feature a washable backing, which is practical for sanding resin-rich woods like pine. Washing the belts offline extends their life and keeps performance consistent.
