 Coating Removal

Constructed with tough, durable Cubitron

™

 abrasive grain, 966F 

belts are ideally suited for stripping chrome from old parts as 
they are being rebuilt. 966F belts are also suited for wet grinding 
and finishing of heat sensitive high nickel 
alloys, where a coolant flood is 
needed, as well as titanium 
and stainless steel.

 Diamond Cloth Discs 

673W are designed to 
provide long-lasting cutting 
performance when used for 
finishing and dimensioning 
ceramics, carbides and 
hardcoated materials. They 
are an excellent choice for 
removing coating overspray 
or removing coatings prior 
to refurbishment. The 
unique construction allows 
Diamond Cloth 673W to 

deliver outstanding consistency throughout the life of the disc, 
for improved control and fewer rejects. They provide optimal 
performance when run wet, but can also be run dry. Compared 
to flexible metal bond diamond abrasives, 3M Diamond Cloth 
Discs 673W last longer, and deliver a faster, more consistent cut. 
They also provide a finer finish, with less chance of burn through 
– helping you improve productivity.

3M Diamond Lapping Films are widely used for finishing and 
polishing hard to grind materials such as carbide, ceramics, 
hardened metals, exotic alloys and composites. They combine 
micron-graded diamond particles, a resin bonding system and 
a highly uniform polyester film backing for a more consistent, 
cleaner and faster alternative to diamond compounds or slurries.

663X film features a stronger resin system that provides added 
toughness and longer product life. Available in 15, 30, 45 and 60 
micron grades. 661X film has a 3 mil polyester backing, and is 
available in 0.1 - 30 micron grades.

Long-lasting and cost-effective. Micron graded diamond 
particles encapsulated in a ceramic bead and resin bonded to 
a durable cloth backing. Designed for use on materials harder 
than 7 on Mohs scale (800 Knoop). Compared to bonded 
wheels and conventional abrasives, 3M Diamond Polishing 
Cloth can reduce process time with fewer steps and excellent 
finish.

The water-resistant backing performs well in both wet and dry 
applications. And the products’ overall toughness makes them 
ideal for many hard-to-finish materials, including thermal spray 
parts, ceramics, composites, HVOF coatings, chilled iron and 
non-ferrous metal.

Available in 0.5, 3, and 6 and 9 micron grades.

 Superfinishing/Finishing

Derived from patented 3M microreplication 
technology, Trizact abrasives consist of precisely-
shaped three-dimensional structures distributed 
uniformly over the substrate. Unlike conventional 
abrasives, which are constructed from randomly-
spaced and irregular-shaped minerals, the uniform 
configuration of Trizact abrasives helps deliver 
more consistent performance and eliminate belt-to-
belt variation.

Trizact belts start sharp and stay sharp, resulting in 
more predictable finishes and improved, consistent 
quality in your parts.

Lower costs

Trizact belts can last two to five times longer than 
conventional belts – and finish so precisely that 
operators can reduce grade sequences, which in 
turn can reduce total cost of operations.

Conventional abrasives start out sharp, but dull quickly

The three-dimensional structures of 3M

™

 Trizact

™

 Abrasives 

contain multiple layers of mineral. As these structures wear, 
fresh, sharp mineral is constantly exposed to the workpiece, 
resulting in faster, more consistent cutting throughout the life 
of the belt.

Ideal for moderate to heavy stock removal
3M-patented Cubitron Abrasive Grain is one of 
the hardest, longest-lasting minerals available. 
It is engineered to cut fast and stand up to the 
intense heat and stress generated in heavy grinding 
applications. It is an ideal mineral for grinding stainless 
steel, titanium and heat sensitive nickel alloys.

3M Trizact Diamond Cloth 
Belt 663FC represents the 
“next generation” in abrasive 
technology – combining the 
predictable dimensioning 
traditionally associated with 
bonded wheels with the speed, 
consistency and ease of use of 
3M abrasive belts.

Designed for grinding hard 
materials to final dimension,  
663FC belts also work well  
for stripping old thermal  
spray coating during the  
refurbishment process. 

663FC belts cut up to 70% 
faster than bonded wheels 
– without chatter. And because 
they are easy to use, even less-

experienced operators can achieve consistent, effective stock 
removal throughout the life of the belt.

3M Flexible 
Diamond Belts 
provide an 
alternative to 
bonded wheels 
that can help you 
achieve required 
finishes without 
sacrificing cut 
rates on hard-to-
grind roll materials. 

A metal bond securely anchors micron-graded 
diamonds to a premium, flexible backing. This 
provides durability and long life, while allowing 
conformance to a variety of contours. The open 
dot pattern produces aggressive cutting action 
and reduces grinding loads.

Designed especially for fast 
finish reduction on hard 
materials, new 675L film 
allows target finishes to be 
achieved in fewer passes for 
greater productivity. Can cut 
superfinishing time in half or 
more, compared to stones. 
Currently available in grades 
ranging from 125 to 20 micron, 
675L film offers an efficient, 
economical alternative in most 
applications except those 
requiring the finest possible 

finishes. Use 3M Diamond Lapping Film to 
achieve  finishes <2 Ra. 

Used in rolls on superfinishers or in belt form, Flexible Diamond 
products allow you to achieve your required finish. In some cases, 
Flexible Diamond products can be used to “roughen up” parts 
when a frictional surface is needed.

Grain. This patented new shape, packed with durable Cubitron 
grain, introduces a full line of consistent Trizact belt products – now 
for stock removal through final finishing in wet applications.

The macroreplicated abrasive structure of 953FA belts results in  
very predictable, consistent cut and finish performance on stainless, 
mild and hardened steel.  Grade range: A300 to A6, in belts up to 
25" wide.

Similar to 953FA belts above, 
new 963FA belts offer a new

patented adhesion enhancers, 
increasing their durability in 
applications such as coarse 
grade stock removal. In medium 
and fine grades, 963FA belts 

deliver improved finishes and improved final part size consistency. 
Available in grades A500 to A6 in belts up to 25" wide.
