From the Manufacturer The 3M™ Scotch-Brite™ Cut and Polish Roll comes with a tough, tight and dense web that allows aggressive blending, cleaning and deburring of metals. Typical applications include metalworking, paint prep, as well as coating and corrosion removal. The web is conformable, flexible and will adapt to unique contours and get into hard-to-reach locations. Tough nylon backing provides durability and long life. Can be used by hand or machines such as dual pad rubbing machines, oscillating machines. The 1-inch width roll can be cut and fit to a 3M Mini Mandrel #935 to deburr, clean and polish inside diameters. The Scotch-Brite Cut and Polish Roll is also an effective alternative to leather straps or canvass for stropping and other bench applications. The roll cuts easily, allowing for customized lengths.This tan cut and polish roll uses aluminum oxide abrasive, which is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its cut-rate and long life. This mineral is a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges in use, whereas traditional abrasives, such as garnet, quickly wear down with use. Due to its high cut-rate, hardness, strength, and low heat retention, aluminum oxide mineral is widely used in grinding applications in addition to sanding and finishing use. Aluminum oxide is suitable on a wide variety of substrates in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.Scotch-Brite™ abrasives are unique surface conditioning products with abrasives incorporated into non-woven fiber matrix. Combining abrasives and non-woven material creates an abrasive system that delivers consistent results for the life of the product. The open-web material runs cool and is load resistant, which keeps the abrasive minerals cutting at high performance by limiting clogging of the fibers.For more than a century, 3M has applied innovation and technology to improving our customers’ lives and supporting their business goals.
