The X-weight cloth backing of our 3M Cross Pad 341D supports both grinding and polishing applications. It has a closed coat of aluminum oxide abrasive secured with a heat-resistant resin bond. This cross pad works well where close-tolerance polishing or deburring is needed.
A cross pad attaches to a threaded mandrel (sold separately) that attaches to a rotary tool such as a die grinder or drill. Together, the mandrel and cross pad enable the user to grind or finish the inner contours of various-sized channels. Max RPM depends on the size of the pad.
Aluminum oxide is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its fast cut-rate and long life. This mineral makes a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, whereas traditional natural abrasives dull more quickly. Due to its fast cut-rate, hardness, and strength, it is widely used in grinding applications in addition to sanding and finishing applications. Aluminum oxide is suitable for a wide variety of materials in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.
Resin adheres the abrasive particles to the cloth backing, creating a strong, stiff bond that withstands the high heat and pressure of heavy sanding.
Trusted 3M Cross Pad
The 3M Cross Pad 341D is designed for reliable performance in sanding and polishing tasks. This model features a heavy, 80 X-weight cloth backing that ensures durability during heavy sanding jobs.
Its construction supports both grinding and polishing applications, making it a versatile tool for professionals who need consistent results with the 3M brand quality.
Precise Size And Format
This cross pad measures 2 in x 2 in x 1/2 in, providing a compact size ideal for detailed work. Its flexible, cross-shaped design fits into holes or channels of various sizes, allowing it to conform to the diameter of the workpiece.
The 2-inch square format makes it perfect for close tolerance polishing of small radii and channels, deburring tubing ends, and other specialized applications.
Durable Abrasive Material
The pad uses durable aluminum oxide abrasive, known for its fast cut and long life. This abrasive performs well on many surfaces, including ferrous alloys, making it suitable for both woodworking and metalworking tasks.
Aluminum oxide self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, maintaining effectiveness longer than natural abrasives and ensuring efficient sanding and finishing.
Strong Resin Bonding
A durable resin bond secures the abrasive to the cloth backing, resisting deterioration from heat. This bond extends the life of the cross pad even under heavy sanding conditions.
The heat-resistant resin also helps the pad withstand high pressure, making it a dependable choice for demanding polishing and grinding jobs.
Convenient Pack Size Case
This product comes in a case of 100 pads, packed in bags of 50 each. The large pack size ensures you have plenty of pads on hand for ongoing projects or high-volume work.
The cross pads attach to a compatible mandrel (sold separately), enabling use with rotary tools like die grinders or drills for efficient inside diameter finishing.
