Superior Finish Sanding with Silicon CarbideAt the heart of the 3M Cloth Belt 461F is high-quality silicon carbide mineral, renowned for its exceptional hardness and sharpness. This abrasive is particularly well-suited for low-pressure applications, such as surface preparation before painting and the final sanding of whitewood. Silicon carbide is also highly effective for grinding, finishing, and polishing metals, glass, and mirrors. While it may not last as long as aluminum oxide abrasives, silicon carbide is preferred when a superior, refined finish is required, making it the ideal choice for applications where surface quality is paramount.
