3M™ revolutionized the world of weld grinding and finishing when it introduced Cubitron™ II ceramic abrasives over a decade ago. Now they're changing the game again with Cubitron™ 3. While ceramic grinding wheels, discs and belts have been around for years, Cubitron technology is a fairly recent development. Traditional abrasive materials like aluminum oxide, wear down and become less and less effective during use. As the abrasive suface becomes more dull, less material is removed, more effort needs to be exerted and more heat is put into the surface being finished or ground. Ceramic abrasives "break" while in use, continuously exposing new sharp edges. This results in less effort, less heat input and longer wheel/disc/belt life than virtually every other abrasive product on the market.
What makes Cubitron 3 abrasives unique among ceramic grinding wheels, discs and belts is the way the ceramic material is applied to the bonding agent or backing material. Each sharp, triangular grain is electronically oriented in such a way as to continually expose sharp edges until the ceramic is completely used up. This results in consistent performance from first use to final cut.
The third generation Cubitron 3 advances this science to a new level with up to 50% longer life, when compared to 3M Cubitron II metal finishing abrasives. The results are even more impressive when comparing Cubitron 3 to comptetive brands. If you perform welding or metal finishing work of any kind, you simply can't afford to have anything less than Cubitron 3 grinding wheels, flap discs and abrasve belts in your shop. Suitable uses include grinding/finishing steel, stainless steel, cast iron, titanium, cobalt and nickel alloys. The results are outstanding and the cost savings are real.
