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 a reliable choice for sanding and polishing tasks. This model features an 80 X-weight cloth backing that ensures durability during heavy sanding jobs.
Its design supports both grinding and polishing, making it suitable for close tolerance polishing of small radii and channels. The 3M brand guarantees consistent quality and performance.
Precise 3 Inch Size
Measuring 3 inches by 3 inches by 1 inch, this cross pad fits well into tight spaces. The flexible, cross-shaped sanding pad conforms to holes or channels of various sizes for precise finishing.
This size is ideal for deburring ends and insides of tubing, allowing users to work efficiently on detailed inside diameter finishing jobs.
Durable Aluminum Oxide Abrasive
The pad uses durable aluminum oxide abrasive, known for its fast cutting action and long life. This abrasive performs well on many surfaces, including ferrous alloys, making it versatile for woodworking and metalworking.
Aluminum oxide self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, maintaining effectiveness longer than traditional abrasives. This ensures consistent results during sanding and finishing.
Strong Resin Bonding
A heat-resistant resin bond secures the abrasive to the cloth backing, resisting deterioration from heat generated during heavy sanding. This extends the life of the cross pad significantly.
The strong resin bond also maintains the pad’s stiffness and durability, allowing it to withstand high pressure and heat without losing performance.
Convenient Pack Of 100
This product comes in a case of 100 pads, each bag containing 50 pads. This pack size supports large projects or frequent use without the need for frequent reordering.
The cross pad attaches to a compatible mandrel (sold separately) for use with rotary tools, making it easy to integrate into existing sanding setups.
