Combatting corrosion takes grit
Your crew is hanging high above water or land, grinding rusted metal away so your ship can be repaired. Two things are imperative: 1) your workers need the very best 3M safety equipment and 2) they need optimized tools to get the work done fast and right. Think about this—3M™ Cubitron™ ll grinding wheels are engineered to cut up to 2X faster than competitive products. What is your crew’s time worth? We can help put a dollar value on your time savings with this Metalworking Time Savings Calculator. What will you do with extra time?
