Product Description
- Anti-static treatment helps manage dust and loading
- F-weight heavy paper backing provides durability and smooth operation in either direction
- Open coat provides fast stock removal
- Premium aluminum oxide mineral provides aggressive cut and long abrasive life
- Sine wave splice prevents hinging in splice area, resists fatigue, and minimizes chatter marks
The paper backing of our 3M Paper Belt 346UZ provides smooth operation and durability. The abrasive side features an open coat structure. The open coat construction resists loading better than closed coat belts, particularly on soft wood. This belt also features our 3M dust management technology that reduces static cling in the dust particles, allowing them to be evacuated more easily when coupled with an efficient dust collection system. To support desired finishing results, the belt ends are joined using an sine wave splice that promotes belt strength and resists hinging and splice fatigue. The splice travels smoothly over contact wheels and platens, minimizes chatter marks, and promotes smooth operation in either direction for consistent finishing results.
3M Paper Belt 346UZ features a premium aluminum oxide abrasive, which is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its cut-rate and long life. This mineral is a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges in use, whereas traditional abrasives, such as garnet, quickly wear down with use. Due to its high cut-rate, hardness, strength, and low heat retention, aluminum oxide mineral is widely used for sanding and finishing applications. Aluminum oxide is suitable on a wide variety of substrates in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.
Abrasive belts come in many different widths and lengths and are used on a variety of different belt sanders for many different applications on both wood and metal. 3M offers a broad selection of belts to fit most any industrial belt sander. Wider belts are used to dimension and sand large wood panels, smooth rough cut edges of metal sheets, or add a grain pattern to stainless steel sheets. Medium-width belts fit onto edge or portable belt sanders for sanding or blending wood pieces such as cabinet doors.
Trusted 3M Paper Belt
The 3M Paper Belt 364UZ offers reliable performance with its P120 F-weight grade. This grade ensures a balance between aggressive cutting and smooth finishing, making it suitable for various sanding tasks. The brand 3M is known for quality abrasives, and the 364UZ model continues that tradition.
Designed for professionals, this belt’s F-weight backing provides durability and smooth operation in either direction. The P120 grit is ideal for medium sanding jobs, delivering consistent results on wood and metal surfaces.
Durable Full-Flex Backing
The belt features a full-flex design with an F-weight heavy paper backing, which is one of the heaviest and most rigid paper backings available. This backing supports smooth operation and long-lasting durability during sanding.
Its flexibility allows the belt to work efficiently on various belt sanders, including portable and edge sanders. This backing type helps achieve finer finishes than cloth-backed belts of the same grade.
Optimal Size And Format
This 3M Paper Belt measures 54 inches by 103 inches, providing a large sanding surface for bigger projects. The size fits many industrial belt sanders, making it versatile for different applications.
Its format as a belt allows for continuous sanding action, which is perfect for dimensioning wood panels or smoothing metal edges. The belt’s length and width support efficient stock removal and consistent finishing.
Effective Dust Management System
The belt includes anti-static treatment that helps manage dust and loading during sanding. This feature reduces static cling, allowing dust particles to be evacuated more easily when used with a dust collection system.
By minimizing dust buildup, the belt maintains its cutting efficiency longer and improves the working environment. This technology supports cleaner operation and better overall sanding results.
Convenient Five Per Case
The product comes in a pack of five belts per case, making it easy to stock up for ongoing projects. Having multiple belts on hand reduces downtime caused by belt changes.
This pack size is practical for workshops and industrial settings where frequent sanding is required. It ensures users have the right quantity of 3M Paper Belt 364UZ belts ready for use.
