How ceramic abrasives cut metal fast.

When you're on the worksite, every second counts — and dealing with dull tools, or taking the time to replace them, means time lost. That's why each individual precision-shaped ceramic grain of 3M™ Cubitron™ II Abrasives acts as a cutting tool—slicing through metal and continuously self-sharpens as points break off.

With this proprietary ceramic abrasive grain, 3M engineers found a way to electrostatically orient each triangular structure to maximize cutting potential. That allows 3M™ Cubitron™ II Belts, Discs, and Bonded Wheels to run cool and keep on working. Meaning you can get the job done — and get home — that much sooner.
