Our 3M Utility Cloth Sheet 211K works well for multiple metalworking applications on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals: deburring operations by hand or by machine; cleaning metals prior to welding; removing rust, and other contaminants; blending and repairing metal finishes; fine sanding and polishing applications; and surface preparation for paints and coatings.
Utility cloth sheets are a good choice for general sanding and maintenance of metal or wood surfaces. The cloth backing provides the flexibility needed to sand circular edges or small pieces, without tearing as easily as paper or losing grit from folding or bending. On the other hand, the cloth can be torn by hand when a smaller piece is needed.
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. Aluminum oxide is suitable for a wide variety of materials in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.
Trusted 3M Utility Cloth
The 3M Utility Cloth Sheet 211K is designed for reliable performance with a 100 J-weight cloth backing. This backing offers both flexibility and durability, making it suitable for machine use without tearing easily.
Its cloth backing also allows for effective sanding on contours and edges, adapting well to different shapes. This model is a trusted choice for various sanding tasks thanks to its strong construction.
Precise 9 Inch Size
Each sheet measures 9 inches by 11 inches, providing a convenient size for hand sanding and machine applications. This dimension balances coverage and control for detailed work.
The size also makes it easy to handle and tear by hand when smaller pieces are needed, reducing waste and improving efficiency during projects.
Effective Aluminum Oxide Abrasive
The sheets use fast-cutting aluminum oxide abrasive, known for its long life and ability to self-fracture, exposing fresh cutting edges. This mineral is ideal for a wide range of sanding tasks.
Aluminum oxide works well on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, making these sheets versatile for metalworking, including rust removal, deburring, and surface preparation.
Flexible Cloth Backing
The flexible cloth backing allows the sheets to be twisted or folded without losing grit or tearing, unlike paper-backed abrasives. This flexibility is essential for sanding curved or irregular surfaces.
Users can also tear the sheets by hand to size them conveniently, which helps minimize waste and tailor the abrasive to specific tasks or smaller areas.
Convenient 50 Pack Case
This product comes in a pack of 50 sheets, with 250 sheets per case, ensuring you have plenty of material for ongoing projects. The pack size supports both small jobs and larger industrial needs.
Having a large quantity on hand reduces the need for frequent reordering and keeps your workspace stocked with the 3M Utility Cloth Sheet 211K for consistent sanding performance.
