3M 7100031683 Cloth Band 341D 3/4x1 in X-weight Abrasive

Product Description

The 3M 7100031683 is an aluminum oxide cloth band in the 341D series, designed for demanding abrasive applications in metalworking and woodworking. Built on a durable X-weight cloth backing, this closed-coat belt delivers consistent material removal and stands up to the heat generated during aggressive grinding and finishing passes. Resin bonding adds heat resistance, reducing glazing and extending the working life of the band. At 3/4 inches wide and 1 inch in diameter, this compact band is suited to tool-mounted and handheld applications where precision and durability are required.

This cloth band is commonly used in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and woodworking operations. The 341D is particularly effective on harder woods and on metal surfaces where a reliable, general-purpose abrasive is needed. Its closed-coat construction ensures dense abrasive coverage for fast, consistent stock removal across a range of surface materials and finishing stages.
