Abrasive belts have high- and low-pressure options
High- and low-pressure options have been added to a range of abrasive belts, which can now work on a variety of metals, part shapes and conditions and minimise surface scratches.
The wheels will cut all metals, including stainless steel, said 3M.
The INOX finish formulation is iron free and aluminium oxide based, therefore able to cut through most commonly used materials.
The wheels also reduce the possibility of cross contamination.
Two sizes - 115mm and 125mm diameters - have been added and are available in 1mm and 1.6mm thicknesses for high productivity and cut quality.
Technical manager in 3M's Industrial and Transportation Business, Cheri Hayne, said: "The INOX product can be applied to light precise cutting applications on all metals including stainless steel.
Its clean cut and excellent finish ensures that no additional working steps are necessary".
Resin bonding provides good mineral anchorage making the product fully compliant with EN12413, the safety standard for bonded abrasive products.
As such, the INOX wheel also exhibits high resistance to breaking and side loads, benefiting the user.
The INOX Cut Off Wheel complements 3M's extensive abrasives range and is available from distributors now.
