3M Cloth Spiral Band 747D, 1/2 in x 1 in 50 X-weight, Case of 100

• Ceramic/aluminum oxide blend offers excellent cut rate and life for increased performance over traditional abrasives when sanding on whitewood and metal substrates
• Durable cotton backing withstands aggressive sanding and grinding
• Grinding aid reduces grinding temperatures for processes involving heat-sensitive alloys such as stainless steel and nickel alloys
• Resin bond withstands high heat and pressure
• Tube-shaped band fits inner and outer contours to remove parting lines, imperfections, and burrs

3M Cloth Band 747D is a versatile abrasive that can be used to access inner and outer contours for grinding, sanding, and shaping on all metals, including stainless steel and nickel alloys, as well as wood and fiberglass. It conforms to contours to remove parting lines or seams, imperfections, and burrs.

For a fast continuous cut and long-life durable performance on aggressive applications, a blend of aluminum oxide and our 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain is resin-bonded to a durable cotton backing. Resin creates a strong bond that withstands high heat and pressure, and a grinding aid on the band reduces grinding temperatures to protect heat-sensitive alloys.

The band fits onto a rubber wheel attachment (such as a cushion polishing wheel or a rubber slotted expander wheel, both sold separately) for use with a die grinder or rotary drill. The bands come in a range of widths and lengths to suit different contours and tasks, and are often used in foundry work.

Our ceramic abrasive grain is a ceramic mineral designed using a proprietary process to enhance toughness and hardness of the grain. Ceramic blend products feature aluminum oxide blended with ceramic grain for a harder, longer-lasting abrasive. Perfect for stock removal, ceramic abrasives are engineered to fracture frequently for a super fast cut and can handle intense heat and stress applications. Ceramic/aluminum oxide blend surpasses aluminum oxide abrasives in cut-rate and durability and makes our 3M Cloth Band 747D an excellent choice for moderate stock removal and surface preparation.

3M Cloth Band Model

The 3M Cloth Spiral Band 747D is designed for versatile sanding and grinding tasks. This exact model offers a ceramic/aluminum oxide blend that improves cut rate and durability compared to traditional abrasives.

Its durable cotton backing supports aggressive use, making the 747D suitable for working on whitewood, metal substrates, and more. This band is a reliable choice for various materials and applications.

Precise Size And Format

This product measures 1/2 inch by 1 inch, providing a compact size ideal for detailed work. The tube-shaped band format fits inner and outer contours, helping remove parting lines, imperfections, and burrs efficiently.

The shape and size make it compatible with rubber wheel attachments, such as cushion polishing wheels or rubber slotted expander wheels, enhancing its usability with die grinders or rotary drills.

50 X-Weight Durable Backing

The 50 X-weight cotton backing on this 3M band is built to withstand tough sanding and grinding conditions. This durability ensures the band holds up well during aggressive applications without tearing or wearing out prematurely.

Its strength supports consistent performance, especially when paired with the resin bond that resists high heat and pressure, maintaining the band’s integrity during demanding tasks.

Case Of 100 Bands

Sold as a case of 100, this pack size offers great value for professionals and frequent users. Having a large quantity on hand means less downtime replacing bands and more continuous work on projects.

This bulk packaging suits foundry work, metal fabrication, and woodworking environments where multiple bands are needed for various contours and surfaces.

Enhanced Grinding Performance

The ceramic/aluminum oxide blend in the 3M 747D band provides a fast, continuous cut and longer life than standard abrasives. This mix is especially effective for moderate stock removal and surface preparation on metals and wood.

A grinding aid incorporated in the band reduces heat buildup, protecting heat-sensitive alloys like stainless steel and nickel alloys during use. This feature helps maintain material quality and tool longevity.
