3M Cloth Spiral Band 747D, 1 in x 1 in, 60 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 Features

The 3M Cloth Spiral Band 747D is designed for effective sanding and grinding. This model uses a ceramic/aluminum oxide blend that improves cut rate and durability compared to traditional abrasives. Its 1 in x 1 in size makes it suitable for detailed work on various surfaces.

Ideal for moderate stock removal, the 747D band fits well on rubber wheel attachments. Its cotton backing adds strength, allowing it to handle aggressive sanding tasks without tearing or wearing out quickly.

Durable Cotton Backing Benefits

The 3M Cloth Spiral Band 747D features a durable cotton backing that withstands tough sanding and grinding. This backing supports the abrasive grains and helps maintain the band’s shape during use, ensuring consistent performance.

Thanks to this sturdy backing, the band is reliable for use on metals, wood, and fiberglass. Its 60 X-weight grade balances flexibility and toughness for various applications.

Effective Grinding Aid Technology

This 3M band includes a grinding aid that lowers grinding temperatures. This feature is especially important when working with heat-sensitive alloys like stainless steel and nickel alloys, preventing damage during use.

By reducing heat buildup, the grinding aid extends the life of the abrasive band and improves safety. The 1 in x 1 in size allows it to access tight contours and remove imperfections efficiently.

Resin Bond Strength Advantages

The resin bond in the 3M Cloth Spiral Band 747D holds the abrasive grains firmly in place. It resists high heat and pressure, which helps the band maintain its cutting ability during demanding tasks.

This strong bond supports continuous cutting and long-lasting performance. The band’s case of 100 ensures you have plenty of supply for ongoing projects or heavy use.

Versatile Size And Format

The 1 in x 1 in size of the 3M Cloth Spiral Band 747D is perfect for fitting onto rubber wheel attachments. This tube-shaped format allows it to conform to inner and outer contours for precise sanding and shaping.

Available in a case of 100, these bands are convenient for foundry work and other industrial uses. Their size and format make them adaptable for various tools like die grinders and rotary drills.
