3m ™ cross pad 341d is used for close tolerance polishing of small radii and channels, deburring the ends and insides of tubing and other special applications. when inserted into a hole or channel, the flexible cross shape conforms to the diameter of the workpiece, making this a versatile accessory for your inside diameter finishing jobs. the x-weight cloth backing of our 3m ™ cross pad 341d supports both grinding and polishing applications. it has a closed coat of aluminum oxide abrasive secured with a heat-resistant resin bond. this cross pad works well where close-tolerance polishing or deburring is needed. a cross pad attaches to a threaded mandrel (sold separately) that attaches to a rotary tool such as a die grinder or drill. together, the mandrel and cross pad enable the user to grind or finish the inner contours of various-sized channels. max rpm depends on the size of the pad. aluminum oxide is a popular choice among industrial professionals because of its fast cut-rate and long life. this mineral makes a tough, durable abrasive that self-fractures to expose fresh cutting edges, whereas traditional natural abrasives dull more quickly. due to its fast cut-rate, hardness and strength, it is widely used in grinding applications in addition to sanding and finishing applications. aluminum oxide is suitable for a wide variety of materials in both woodworking and metalworking, including ferrous alloys.
