PRODUCT FAQ
-
What grit level is the 3M Cubitron II Cloth Cone 947A, and what types of materials can it work on?
The 947A comes in 120+ grit, which makes it ideal for general grinding, blending, and finishing on a wide range of materials including metal, composites, and wood. It's a versatile choice for both heavy stock removal and moderate finishing work.
-
What is the X-weight cloth backing, and why does it matter?
X-weight refers to the thickness and durability of the cloth base. X-weight is one of the heavier cloth options we offer, which means it's more durable and resistant to tearing, making it perfect for demanding applications and longer tool life.
-
How many cones come in each case, and what are the dimensions?
Each case contains 200 cones. Each individual cone measures 2-1/2 inches in length with a 7/8 inch diameter and a 3/8 inch arbor hole, making them compatible with standard cone sanders and hand tools.
-
What makes Cubitron II technology better than traditional abrasives?
Cubitron II features our advanced grain technology that fractures intelligently during use, constantly exposing fresh, sharp cutting edges. This means faster material removal, longer product life, and cooler grinding compared to conventional abrasives—ultimately saving you time and money.
3M Cubitron II Cloth Cone 947A stands as one of 3M's premier cloth-backed abrasive solutions, specifically engineered to deliver exceptional performance across a diverse range of metallic substrates including stainless steels, aluminum, and carbon steel. This versatile abrasive tool is predominantly utilized in conjunction with die grinders, making it an indispensable choice for professionals requiring precision and durability in their grinding operations.
Key Features and Performance Characteristics- Incorporates 3M's Precision-Shaped Grain technology for enhanced cutting efficiency and consistent results
- Includes an integrated grinding aid formulation that optimizes performance during demanding applications
- Engineered to excel in medium to high-pressure grinding scenarios
- Demonstrates exceptional versatility across exotic alloys, stainless steel, carbon steel, cobalt chrome, and nickel-based alloys
- Combines durability with flexibility to accommodate various project requirements
The 3M Cubitron II Cloth Cone 947A proves particularly valuable for precision work in confined spaces where conventional, larger-diameter abrasive tools cannot access or maneuver effectively. Its specialized cone configuration makes it exceptionally well-suited for multiple finishing tasks, including flash removal from molded or cast components, refinement of surface finishes to eliminate machine tool marks, edge breaking operations, and general polishing applications that demand both control and consistency.
Installation and CompatibilityThese cloth cones are designed to mount securely onto compatible mandrels, which are sold as separate components and attach directly to either die grinders or standard power drills. Proper installation requires ensuring that the cone's center hole diameter precisely matches the diameter of the mandrel pilot being inserted, guaranteeing stable operation and optimal results.
