Scotch-Brite™ Surface Conditioning Scrim Backed Belt, SC-BS, A Medium,3/8 in x 18 in, 100 ea/Case

Scotch-Brite™ Surface Conditioning Belt work well to remove coarse grind lines, mill marks, or small burrs left by cutting tools or conventional abrasives. Abrasive belts come in many different widths and lengths and are used on a variety of different belt sanding tools for many different applications on both wood and metal.

With a wide range of conformability options and high consistency, long-lasting Scotch-Brite™ industrial abrasives are a great option for robotic metal finishing. Scotch-Brite™ Surface Conditioning Belts can generate a spec-required, aesthetic finish when used in both manual and robotic processing.

3M offers a broad selection of belts to fit most any industrial belt sander. Wide belt sanders are used for sanding and finishing large wood panels. Medium-width belts fit onto edge or portable belt sanders for sanding or blending wood pieces such as cabinet doors, and narrow belts are used with file tools in metalworking to access small areas or inside corners.

Scotch-Brite™ Surface Conditioning Belts are manufactured with a choice of silicon carbide or aluminum oxide abrasive mineral. Silicon carbide is a synthetic mineral that is very sharp and commonly used for low-pressure applications such as paint prep and finishing. Aluminum oxide is a hard, blocky mineral that provides high cut-rate and long life. While silicon carbide breaks down faster than aluminum oxide, it produces a finer finish.

Belt sanders are used for rapid grinding, sanding and finishing on a variety of surfaces. Depending on the material being worked, sanding wheels and discs may clog, quickly making them less efficient, while belt sanders continue to sand without clogging because small grooves in the abrasive belt open as they go around the arc of the drive wheel.

• Nonwoven, surface conditioning belts clean, blend, deburr and finish
• Reduced loading and heat build-up allow extended operating time and consistent surface conditioning results
• Conformability allows abrasive to stay in contact with complex-shaped parts in robotic processing
• Reinforced backing and nonwoven open web material provide superior flexibility for detail work, over contours and edges
• Removes surface imperfections, grind lines, mill, and other marks
