3M 7000044721 Microfinishing Film Roll 20 Micron

Product Description

The 3M 7000044721 Microfinishing Film Roll 372L is a precision abrasive roll designed for fine surface finishing on cylindrical components. It consists of aluminum oxide abrasive grains resin-bonded to a 5 mil polyester film backing, providing consistent cut and finish performance. The backing features a friction grip coating that reduces slippage during use. At 20 micron grade, this roll delivers a controlled, fine finish suitable for tight-tolerance applications. Machinists and finishing technicians use this product in production and repair environments where surface geometry must be maintained within strict parameters.

This microfinishing film roll is used in the precision finishing of cylindrical surfaces, including automotive camshafts and crankshafts. It is well-suited for lapping and microfinishing operations performed on cylindrical grinding machines and manual polishing fixtures. The 7-7/8 inch width, 165 foot length, and 3 inch core accommodate standard production roll finishing equipment. It is applicable in automotive component manufacturing, engine rebuilding shops, and precision machine shops where controlled surface finish is a process requirement.
