Applications include:
(SPEECH) [SAW CUTTING] (DESCRIPTION) A saw cuts through a piece of wood. Sparks fly from the saw blade. Logo, 3M. Science Applied to Life. The power of precision shaped ceramic grain. (SPEECH) [ELECTRONIC MUSIC] (DESCRIPTION) Our unique triangular grain technology. Aggressive three pointed ceramic grain. Fracturing action self-sharpens triangular grain. An animated granule slices through material. Competitor grain, 3M Precision shaped ceramic grain. A rounded rock and pointed 3M labeled triangle that slices like a cutting tool. Less heat build up, less glazing. Cuts faster, stays sharper, lasts longer. Technology that changes the rules. INOX cut-off wheel, aluminum oxide, size 115 millimeters versus 3M Cubitron II Cut Off Wheel, Precision shaped Ceramic Grain, 115 millimeters by 1 millimeter. Metal cutting, disc wear. Cut 01. Two saws cut 10 slices off square metal pipe tubes. A new Cubitron disc lies side by side with used competitor and Cubitron discs. The competitor disc is smaller. Metal cutting disc life Cubitron, approximately 55 cuts, competitor just 10 cuts. Metal cutting heat generation. Competitor's INOX Cut off wheel heats to 420 degrees Celsius. The 3M Cubitron II cut off wheel heats to 240 degrees Celsius. Burnt finish, equals more rework on the competitor's cutting wheel. Precision shaped ceramic grain technology cuts faster, stays sharper, lasts longer. Can be found in a variety of discs. Logo, 3M.
