Product Overview
Aluminum Oxide Abrasive Offers a Fast Cut, Long Life, and Professional Performance
This abrasive uses aluminum oxide, which is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its fast cut-rate and long life. 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.
Open Coat Construction Prevents Dust and Debris from Clogging the Surface
Coated abrasives cut better and last longer when dust isn't clogging the cutting surface of the abrasives. Open coat construction means the abrasive grains are placed with space between them to help evacuate sanding dust and other debris to avoid clogging the cutting edge of the grains. The load-resistant coating also allows the product to continue cutting even when sanding softwoods, paints, and other materials that would, otherwise, clog and hinder sanding ability. Additionally, the open coat feature provides a more aggressive cut than a comparable closed coat abrasive of the same grade. All of this adds up to increased productivity and reduced material consumption.
3M™ Stikit™ Backing Allows for Quick Application and Easy Removal
