Featuring the right blend of mineral, backing, and bond, the 3M™ SiC Cloth Belt 490FZ is designed for coarse and intermediate/fine wood sanding operations where good cut rate and finish are required. Perhaps one of the best features of the 3M™ SiC Cloth Belt 490FZ is its versatility — it's offered in both narrow and wide flat finishing forms, as well as different grades.Wide abrasive belts are used with wide belt sanders to dimension or finish wood panels. This cloth belt is available in two weights: ZF-weight (grades P24 - P50) or YF-weight (grades P60 - P220). Both weights are stiff, sturdy, and durable, with ZF being the slightly heavier of the two. These strong backings support the abrasive side of the belt and provide the durability needed for these high horsepower applications. Choose a coarser grade, like P24, when you desire aggressive sanding. Choose a finer grade, like P220, when a fine finish is your top priority. To help the mineral do its job well, we added a static-resistant treatment to the belt. This additive helps the dust collection system funnel dust and debris away from the mineral, so it doesn't get clogged by debris. Additionally, the semi-open coat construction means there are small gaps between the mineral. These tiny channels help prevent the abrasive from loading. The mineral is adhered to the backing with a resin bond that breaks down gradually during sanding. The bond helps with heat resistance and provides the bond strength needed for these high horsepower applications.
