PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What are Standard Abrasives™ A/O Spiral Band 702489 used for?

    Standard Abrasives™ A/O Spiral Band 702489 is a versatile abrasive that is commonly used for grinding, sanding and finishing purposes. They are ideal for removing dirt, scale, rust and much more.

  2. Can these spiral bands be removed easily and reinstalled?

    Yes, absolutely! They can be installed or removed from a rubber drum mandrel quite quickly. This makes them the perfect choice when you need to switch between different grits of sandpaper frequently.

  3. What does "80" and "100 ea/Case" mean?

    The numbers here refer to the Grit value of each band size. In this case it refers to two different options - one has an '80' grit rating while the other has an '100' grit rating. And the number following it states how many pieces come in a single container/case.

  4. Does 3M also have any replacement parts available if I require any extra pieces/bands later on?

    Yes we do! You can always visit our official website where all products & accessories related to our equipment will be up-to-date along with product descriptions informing about all technical details as well as details pricings.

  5. : Are there any safety precautions needed before using these abrasives cones?

    : Wearing protective gear such as gloves & eyewear would be recommended when working with power tools like grinding or polishing machines.The fundamental idea behind wearing them is avoiding less severe injuries which could occur during use of sharp objects accompanying your machinery at work place.

Recommended Applications

Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band is the perfect product for polishing and blending flat surfaces and contours. Its spiral shape allows it to smoothly roll over these surfaces. The circular band rotates centrifugally as it's moved around the workpiece, and the abrasive can easily fit inside hard-to-reach areas. Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band is great for removing parting lines, tiny imperfections, and little burrs that could be difficult to remove with a larger abrasive disc or wheel.

Special Features

The spiral construction on Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band eliminates shadow marks and chatter. Aluminum oxide mineral cuts sharp but is still friable, fragmenting under heat and pressure to reveal sharp cutting edges, so operators get a consistent cut throughout the life of the abrasive. Available in grades 24 to 320 grit, operators can choose the right grade for their project, depending on how aggressive a scratch is desired. Coarser grades, like 24, are good for heavy stock removal, whereas finer grades, like 320, are good for metal finishing and polishing.

Tips for Optimal Use

Standard Abrasives™ Spiral Bands are intended for use with rubber drums. The single ply or "single thickness" abrasive fits snugly around the drum like a glove. Compared to 2- or 3-ply thicknesses, the single ply is a bit more flexible and conformable, which makes it a good match for contoured surfaces. It is important for both the drum and the abrasive to have the same nominal diameter to prevent skipping and bumping.

Rather than deflecting or skidding over the substrate, the Spiral Band stays in constant contact with the workpiece to swiftly rid the surface of little burrs. The maximum allowable RPM for spiral bands is the same as the maximum RPM of the drum, provided the drum and band have the same nominal diameter. Typically, the rubber drum attaches to portable drills, die grinders, straight shaft and angle grinders. The great news is, the drum requires no extra tools for band changes.

Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band makes removing contaminants from flat and contoured surfaces smooth – in finish and operation.
