PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is the size of 3M™ Square Pad 341D and what is it made out of?
The 3M™ Square Pad 341D measures 2 in x 2 in x 1/2 in. It is made from a durable aluminum oxide abrasive material.
-
How coarse is the pad's grit?
This particular square pad has a grit level of 80 X-weight, making it moderately coarse and ideal for surface finishing and blending.
-
How many pads come per pack or case?
Each pack contains an inner quantity of fifty (50) square pads. A complete case comes with one hundred (100) pads evenly split between two packs.
-
What surfaces are suitable for cleaning/polishing using this product?
The versatile nature of these square pads makes them great to use on multiple surfaces such as metals, wood, plastics, ceramics amongst other finished materials.
To create the 3M™ Square Pad 341D, we use a combination of aluminum oxide mineral, X-weight cloth backing, and resin. Each component plays a crucial role in the abrasive's performance and longevity. The X-weight cloth backing is heavy, durable, and does not deflect during use. This allows the pad to aggressively tackle channels, fillet welds, and corners. Aluminum oxide mineral delivers a soft scratch pattern that is often desirable for finishing and polishing. It is a popular choice among industrial professionals due to its fast cut and long life. Aluminum oxide mineral is adhered to the backing in a closed coat construction, which means that the mineral covers 100% of the backing. The greater grain density of this coated abrasive equates to finer finishes.
Tips for Optimal UseThe 3M™ Square Pad 341D is made by folding strips of abrasive material over a metal eyelet to form a square abrasive pad. As the pad rotates, the corners provide fast cutting action, wearing down to expose fresh abrasive mineral. Square pads run smoothly and offer great control and access for corner weld grinding, finishing, and cleaning. They are slightly more aggressive than cross pads due to their square design, making them a good choice for tougher grinding and blending applications. The 341D square pads may be used with portable die grinders to facilitate easier and closer access to the workpiece, and the metal eyelet attaches to a mandrel —long or short — enabling the operator to tighten or extend the abrasive's proximity to the part. For added versatility, the pad is available in a range of grades and sizes, so operators can secure a fine or coarse scratch depending on their project needs.
Conquer CornersSquare pads are useful across industries and markets, commonly applied in metalworking and maintenance repair operations. Their square shape and cushioned pad make them a good abrasive for grinding, blending, and finishing flat surfaces, channels, and corners. They tackle these unique workpiece contours by cleanly abrading the surface with their square tips. The 3M™ Square Pad 341D is especially useful when faced with tight corners.
