PRODUCT FAQ
-
bsolutely! I'd be happy to help with that. Here are some questions and answers
What is the size of the 3M™ Hookit™ Paper Sheet 236U, P400 C-weight?
-
The size of the sheet is 3 inches x 4 inches.
What does "C-weight" refer to in this product?
-
"C-weight" refers to the weight classification of the paper sheet, indicating its thickness and durability.
Can I use this hook-and-loop sanding sheet on my orbital sander?
-
Yes, these sheets are designed to be used with hook-and-loop sanders for easy attachment and removal during sanding applications.
Is the P400 grit suitable for fine finishing work?
-
Yes, the P400 grit level is ideal for achieving a smooth finish on wood or metal surfaces.
The 3M Hookit Paper Sheet 236U is specifically designed for use with a 3 x 4 inch orbital sander. It features a strong C-weight paper backing that resists tearing and edgewear during aggressive sanding. The sheet is resin-bonded for heat-resistance, which increases its overall lifespan and cutting performance.
One of the key features of the 3M Hookit Paper Sheet 236U is its load-resistant coating. This coating allows the sheet to continue cutting even when sanding softwoods, paints, and other materials that would typically clog the surface of the sheet and hinder sanding ability. Additionally, the sheet has an open coat, which means the abrasive grains are spaced slightly apart. This design allows dust to escape rather than obstructing the cutting edge of the grains, optimizing both the cut-rate and the lifespan of the sheet.
The 3M Hookit Paper Sheet 236U is designed to conveniently and firmly attach to a 3 x 4 inch (75 x 100mm) 3M Hookit Pad (sold separately) on a 3 x 4 inch 3M Orbital Sander. This ensures a secure and reliable connection between the sheet and the sander. The Hookit sheets are quick and easy to change when switching from one grade to another, and they can be reused multiple times throughout the lifespan of the sheet. This is in contrast to adhesive-backed sheets, which are typically discarded after one use due to the adhesive backing not re-adhering a second time.
Aluminum oxide is the chosen mineral for the 3M Hookit Paper Sheet 236U. This mineral is highly favored among industrial professionals due to its fast cut-rate and long life. It is a tough and durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, unlike traditional natural abrasives that tend to dull more quickly. The fast cut-rate, hardness, and strength of aluminum oxide make it suitable for a wide variety of materials in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.
