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 is a reliable choice for sanding tasks. This model features the trusted 3M brand known for quality abrasives, ensuring consistent performance. The belt’s design supports efficient finishing with its Film-lok system for secure attachment.
Ideal for professionals, the 364UZ model balances durability and precision. Its Film-lok format allows easy installation and replacement, making it suitable for various industrial sanding applications.
Durable F-weight Backing
This belt uses an F-weight heavy paper backing, which provides excellent durability and smooth operation. The heavy paper backing supports sanding in either direction without compromising the belt’s integrity.
F-weight backing is one of the most rigid paper types available, offering finer finishes than cloth-backed belts. This makes it perfect for demanding sanding jobs requiring both strength and precision.
Generous Size Dimensions
The 3M Paper Belt 364UZ measures 52 inches by 103 inches, providing ample surface area for large sanding projects. These dimensions fit a variety of industrial belt sanders, making it versatile for different tasks.
Its size is ideal for smoothing large wood panels or metal sheets, allowing users to cover more area efficiently. The belt’s length and width support both heavy stock removal and fine finishing.
Effective Film-lok Format
The Film-lok format enhances belt attachment and stability during use. This system ensures the belt stays securely in place on the sander, reducing downtime caused by belt slippage or misalignment.
Film-lok belts are easy to install and remove, which helps maintain workflow efficiency. This format is especially useful in industrial settings where quick belt changes are necessary.
Convenient Five Pack
This product comes in a pack of 5 belts per case, offering good value and convenience for frequent users. Having multiple belts on hand reduces interruptions caused by belt wear or damage.
The five-pack format suits workshops and production environments where continuous sanding is required. It ensures users have replacements ready for ongoing projects without delay.
