Scotch-Brite Surface Conditioning Scrim Backed Belt, SC-BS, A/O Medium, 1/4 in x 18 in, Case of 20

• Conformability allows abrasive to stay in contact with complex-shaped parts in robotic processing
• Nonwoven, surface conditioning belts clean, blend, deburr and finish
• Reduced loading and heat build-up allow extended operating time and consistent surface conditioning results
• Reinforced backing and nonwoven open web material provide superior flexibility for detail work, over contours and edges
• Removes surface imperfections, grind lines, mill, and other marks

Scotch-Brite Surface Conditioning Belt is a durable belt engineered to perform detail work such as blending, blending corners, cleaning, contour finishing, deburring, deburring edges, fine finishing, flat finishing, setting the grain, stainless steel finishing, and attaining straightline-brushed finishes on a variety of metals.

A Versatile Abrasive
Scotch-Brite Surface Conditioning Belt work well to remove coarse grind lines, mill marks, or small burrs left by cutting tools or conventional abrasives. Abrasive belts come in many different widths and lengths and are used on a variety of different belt sanding tools for many different applications on both wood and metal.

Ideal for Robotic Finishing
With a wide range of conformability options and high consistency, long-lasting Scotch-Brite industrial abrasives are a great option for robotic metal finishing. Scotch-Brite Surface Conditioning Belts can generate a spec-required, aesthetic finish when used in both manual and robotic processing.

Choose the Right Belt for You
At 3M we offer a broad selection of belts to fit most any industrial belt sander. Wide belt sanders are used for sanding and finishing large wood panels. Medium-width belts fit onto edge or portable belt sanders for sanding or blending wood pieces such as cabinet doors, and narrow belts are used with file tools in metalworking to access small areas or inside corners.

Hard-Working Minerals: Aluminum Oxide and Silicon Carbide
We manufacture Scotch-Brite Surface Conditioning Belts with a choice of silicon carbide or aluminum oxide abrasive mineral. Silicon carbide is a synthetic mineral that is very sharp and commonly used for low-pressure applications such as paint prep and finishing. Aluminum oxide is a hard, blocky mineral that provides high cut-rate and long life. While silicon carbide breaks down faster than aluminum oxide, it produces a finer finish.

An Alternative for Wheels and Discs
Belt sanders are used for rapid grinding, sanding and finishing on a variety of surfaces. Depending on the material being worked, sanding wheels and discs may clog, quickly making them less efficient, while belt sanders continue to sand without clogging because small grooves in the abrasive belt open as they go around the arc of the drive wheel.

Trusted Scotch-Brite Model

The Scotch-Brite Surface Conditioning Scrim Backed Belt, model SC-BS, offers reliable performance for surface conditioning tasks. This belt features a scrim backing that enhances durability and flexibility during use.

Designed for medium abrasive grade with aluminum oxide mineral, it balances cut rate and finish quality. The model SC-BS is ideal for detailed work on various metals and surfaces.

Precise Size And Format

This belt measures 1/4 inch by 18 inches, making it suitable for edge and portable belt sanders. Its size allows access to tight spots and detailed contours during finishing and deburring.

The scrim backed format provides superior flexibility over edges and contours, ensuring consistent contact with complex shapes. This format supports both manual and robotic finishing processes.

Medium Grade Abrasive Benefits

The A/O Medium grade abrasive combines aluminum oxide’s long life with effective surface conditioning. It removes imperfections like grind lines and mill marks while blending and deburring edges smoothly.

Medium grade belts like this one are versatile for cleaning, blending, and fine finishing on metals. They maintain performance over extended use thanks to reduced heat build-up and loading.

Extended Pack Quantity

Available in a pack of 20 belts per case, this product supports ongoing industrial or workshop needs without frequent reordering. The pack size suits high-volume or repetitive finishing tasks.

Having 20 belts on hand ensures consistent workflow and reduces downtime. This quantity is practical for both manual operators and automated robotic finishing lines.

Flexible Surface Conditioning

The scrim backing and nonwoven open web material provide excellent conformability, allowing the belt to stay in contact with complex shapes. This flexibility is key for robotic processing and detailed metal finishing.

Its design reduces heat build-up and loading, extending operating time and delivering consistent results. The belt is effective for blending corners, deburring edges, and achieving straightline-brushed finishes.
