Its robust polyester cloth backing is designed for maximum durability and resistance to tearing, making it an excellent choice for demanding environments. This belt is suitable for both wet and dry sanding processes, providing versatility across a range of industrial tasks.

Superior Finish Sanding with Silicon CarbideThe abrasive surface of the 3M Cloth Belt 461F features silicon carbide, a mineral renowned for its exceptional hardness and sharpness. Silicon carbide is particularly effective in low-pressure applications, such as preparing surfaces for painting and performing the final sanding of whitewood. It is also highly suitable for grinding, finishing, and polishing metals, glass, and mirrors. While silicon carbide abrasives may not last as long as those made with aluminum oxide, they are preferred when a superior, high-quality finish is required. This makes the 3M Cloth Belt 461F an ideal choice for applications where surface quality is paramount.
