Product Description
- 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
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 Brand Model Quality
The 3M Cloth Spiral Band 747D is a trusted choice for sanding and grinding tasks. This exact model offers reliable performance thanks to its ceramic/aluminum oxide blend, which improves cut rate and durability over traditional abrasives.
Designed for versatility, the 747D model works well on whitewood and metal substrates. Its durable cotton backing supports aggressive sanding, making it suitable for demanding jobs.
Precise Size And Format
This abrasive band measures 2 inches by 1 inch, providing a compact size that fits well on various tools. Its tube-shaped format allows it to conform to inner and outer contours for detailed work.
The spiral band format is ideal for removing parting lines, imperfections, and burrs. It fits onto rubber wheel attachments, enhancing its usability with die grinders or rotary drills.
Durable Cotton Backing
The 3M Cloth Spiral Band 747D features a strong cotton backing that withstands high heat and pressure during sanding. This backing supports the abrasive grain and resin bond for long-lasting use.
Its durability makes it suitable for aggressive applications, including foundry work. The backing helps maintain the band’s shape and effectiveness over time.
Effective Grinding Aid
This band includes a grinding aid that reduces temperatures during use, protecting heat-sensitive alloys like stainless steel and nickel. This feature extends the life of both the abrasive and the workpiece.
The grinding aid ensures smoother operation and prevents damage from overheating. It’s especially useful when working on metals that require careful temperature control.
Case Pack Of 100
The product comes in a convenient case of 100 bands, ensuring you have plenty of supplies for ongoing projects. This pack size supports continuous work without frequent reordering.
Having 100 bands on hand is ideal for workshops or professional settings where consistent abrasive performance is needed. It also offers good value for bulk purchasing.
