3M 7100055956 Cloth Band 341D 2x2 Inch 40 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100055956 is an aluminum oxide cloth band in the 341D series, measuring 2 inches x 2 inches with a 40-grit, X-weight cloth backing. The closed-coat construction delivers consistent abrasive coverage across the full belt surface, and resin bonding adds heat resistance for sustained performance during extended grinding or sanding runs. This band is designed for general-purpose material removal on metal and wood substrates. Licensed HVAC technicians, metalworkers, machinists, woodworkers, and general maintenance trades reach for this style of abrasive band when shaping, deburring, or finishing with a bench-top or portable band sanding tool.

The 341D cloth band is suited for both metalworking and woodworking applications. It performs particularly well on harder wood species where a durable, aggressive cut is needed to remove stock efficiently. In metalworking settings, the aluminum oxide grain handles mild steel, ferrous metals, and similar materials in fabrication and finishing workflows. The 2 inches x 2 inches form factor fits small-diameter band sanding sleeves and drum sanders commonly used in shop and field settings.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose abrasive band for bench-top and portable band sanders accepting a 2 inches x 2 inches sleeve or drum configuration in metalworking and woodworking applications.

Installation Notes

Mounting and replacement of abrasive bands should be performed with the sanding tool powered off and unplugged. Ensure the band is seated squarely on the drum or sleeve before resuming operation. Inspect the backing for tears or separation before each use, and replace the band if the abrasive surface shows glazing or significant wear that reduces cut rate.
