Shaping a New Era of Grinding Performance

The secret behind the revolutionary performance of new Cubitron™ II belts lies in their proprietary triangular-shaped abrasive grain.  The precision-shaped grain found in 3M™ Cubitron™ II combines the advanced material properties of our original Cubitron grain with the precise microreplicated structures pioneered in 3M™ Trizact™ Abrasives. As the triangular shaped grain wears, it continuously fractures to form sharp points and edges.

Conventional ceramic abrasive grain is irregular and blocky in shape. Instead of a clean, machining action, the grain tends to “plow” through the metal, causing heat to build up in the workpiece and the abrasive — resulting in a slower cut, shorter belt life and undesirable effects, such as burnishing.

3M™ Agglomerate Abrasive Belts

Newly designed 3M precision shaped agglomerate belt for deburring, centerless grinding, cylindrical grinding and flat finishing offers you unprecedented performance on a wide range of metals including carbon steel, stainless steel and other alloys – for outstanding quality, throughput and cost savings. Long lasting abrasive technology helps you achieve desired dimensions and finishes – right from the start!
