740mm x 40mm Ceramic Purple Linishing Sanding Belt

3M Cubitron™ II 726A Ceramic Purple Linishing Sanding Belt

The 3M Cubitron™ II 726A Ceramic Purple Linishing Sanding Belt is a high-performance, flexible sanding belt designed for precision finishing, blending, and light grinding applications. It features precision-shaped grain (PSG) technology, which allows for faster cutting, longer lifespan, and cooler operation compared to traditional abrasives.

Key Features:

✅ Precision-Shaped Grain (PSG) Technology – Self-sharpening, uniform ceramic grains continuously fracture to expose fresh cutting edges, maintaining high cutting efficiency.
✅ Softer, Flexible J-weight Backing – Unlike heavier backings, the 726A belt has a lighter, more flexible backing that adapts to contoured surfaces and softer materials.
✅ Cool Cutting Action – Advanced heat-dissipating properties reduce heat buildup, preventing discoloration or damage to heat-sensitive materials.
✅ Resin Bonding for Durability – Provides strong adhesion of grains, ensuring a consistent and long-lasting cut.
✅ Low Pressure, High Precision – Ideal for applications that require light grinding, blending, and finishing rather than aggressive material removal.

Applications:

🔹 Metalworking: Light grinding, blending, and finishing of stainless steel, aluminium, and exotic alloys.
🔹 Knife Making: Ideal for refining bevels, shaping, and smoothing before polishing.
🔹 Woodworking: Fine sanding of hardwoods and delicate surfaces.
🔹 Automotive & Aerospace: Great for paint preparation, edge deburring, and blending seams.

Advantages of 3M Cubitron™ II 726A Over Other Belts:

✔ More Flexible Than Standard Cubitron™ Belts – Easier to use on curved or detailed surfaces.
✔ Smoother, More Controlled Cut – Ideal for precision applications where aggressive removal isn’t required.
✔ Long-Lasting Performance – Outperforms traditional ceramic and zirconia belts.
✔ Cooler Sanding, Less Clogging – Prevents overheating and extends belt life.

Recommended Tasks for 3M Cubitron™ II 726A Ceramic Purple Linishing Sanding Belts (Flexible J-Weight Backing)

The 726A series is designed for precision finishing, blending, and light grinding rather than heavy stock removal. Its flexible backing makes it ideal for contoured surfaces, fine detailing, and polishing prep.

🟥 80 Grit – Coarse Material Removal & Shaping

✅ Metalworking: Light grinding, edge chamfering, and weld blending on stainless steel, aluminium, and soft metals.
✅ Knife Making: Shaping and initial bevel refinement (softer than rigid belts, ideal for detailed work).
✅ Woodworking: Heavy sanding of hardwoods and shaping curved surfaces.
✅ Automotive: Removing paint, oxidation, or surface imperfections without excessive heat buildup.

🟧 120 Grit – Medium Smoothing & Refinement

✅ Metalworking: Refining edges, removing minor scratches, and preparing for finer grits.
✅ Knife Making: Smoothing bevels after rough shaping.
✅ Woodworking: Prepping hardwood surfaces for finer sanding.
✅ Automotive: Blending seams and smoothing primer surfaces before painting.

🟨 240 Grit – Fine Sanding & Surface Preparation

✅ Metalworking: Blending finishes, light deburing, and final shaping before polishing.
✅ Knife Making: Refining blade edges and finishing before hand-sanding or buffing.
✅ Woodworking: Pre-finish sanding for staining or sealing.
✅ Automotive: Preparing for paint or powder coating, ensuring a smooth surface.

🟩 400 Grit – Ultra-Fine Finishing & Pre-Polishing

✅ Metalworking: Fine finishing and pre-polishing of stainless steel, aluminium, and high-carbon steel.
✅ Knife Making: Final belt sanding before buffing or mirror polishing.
✅ Woodworking: Super-fine sanding for ultra-smooth surfaces before applying clear coats.
✅ Automotive: Final smoothing before clear coat or wet sanding.

Why Choose 3M Cubitron™ II 726A for These Tasks?

✔ Flexible J-weight backing – Conforms to curves, great for detailed work.
✔ Cooler running – Reduces overheating on soft metals, woods, and painted surfaces.
✔ Precision-shaped grain (PSG) – Provides consistent, long-lasting cutting power.
✔ Smoother operation – More control than rigid belts, making it perfect for finishing applications.
