Precision-Shaped Grain: A 3M Innovation
For those who want to boost productivity in their operations, there’s 3M Precision-Shaped Grain. This groundbreaking ceramic abrasive technology cuts faster and lasts longer than traditional abrasives — and it powers a wide range of 3M abrasive products. Available in fibre discs, flap discs, bonded wheels, belts and sanding discs, no one matches the breadth of the 3M Precision-Shaped Grain product offering. From coarse grade grinding through ultra-fine grade sanding, there’s a family of 3M products to bring your shop to the next level.
-
Cuts fast and lasts long. -
Stays cool when cutting. -
Saves time and money.
The speed is in the science.
For almost a century there was only one option in abrasive technology: crushed abrasive grains that plow through metal, heat up, turn dull and stop cutting. 3M engineers knew there was a better way. That’s why they invented 3M Precision-Shaped Grain — a triangular ceramic grain that slices through the substrate and continually fractures into new sharp cutting edges.
Fast-cutting, long-lasting 3M Precision-Shaped Grain can be found throughout the 3M product family.
