In the world of industrial sanding, efficiency and quality are paramount. The 3M Xtract™ Cubitron™ II Random Orbital Sanding Range is helping you transform your sanding operations — from stock removal to fine finishing — with its innovative abrasive technology and dust extraction capabilities.
Performance and Longevity
The standout feature of the 3M Xtract™ Cubitron™ II discs is their 3M Precision Shaped Ceramic Grain technology. Unlike conventional abrasives that gouge materials, these triangular-shaped ceramic grains slice through substrates. This design allows the discs to cut up to twice as fast1 and last up to six times longer2 than traditional aluminum oxide abrasives. The range includes four specialized products:
Innovative Dust Management
Dust control is a critical concern in sanding operations. The 3M Xtract™ Cubitron™ II product line features a proprietary multi-hole pattern designed for maximum dust extraction. This helps reduce disc loading while maintaining consistent cutting performance and creating a cleaner work environment. The 3M Xtract™ Cubitron™ II 710W net disc in particular excels in dust removal, making it ideal for applications requiring high material removal rates.
Comprehensive Application Range
With grit options from 40+ to 1000+, the 3M Xtract™ Cubitron™ II disc series covers virtually every sanding application. The cloth-backed 3M Xtract™ Cubitron™ II disc 900DZ handles aggressive material removal on challenging substrates, while the finer-grit 3M Xtract™ Cubitron™ II paper and film discs provide excellent finishing capabilities. This versatility makes it possible for you to transform your entire sanding process.
System Integration
For better results, pair these discs with their 3M Xtract™ Random Orbital Sanders. This system integration helps maximize both the speed benefits and dust extraction capabilities of the technology.
Sustainability and Efficiency
The combination of faster cutting speeds and longer disc life helps reduce both your consumable usage and labor time. This not only helps lower your operating costs but also helps minimizes your environmental impact by reducing your waste generation.
Conclusion
The 3M Xtract™ Cubitron™ II Random Orbital Sanding Range represents a significant leap forward in abrasive technology. By combining precision-engineered abrasive grains with advanced dust management systems, these products offer industrial users a combination of performance, efficiency, and finish quality. Whether tackling heavy stock removal or fine surface finishing, this comprehensive product family provides a single-source solution for virtually all sanding needs.
1 Cuts up to twice as fast: Compared to 3M Aluminum Oxide Abrasive Products. Results are based on total cut over four × ninety-second cycles on an automated test with maple material using 5 inch (127 mm) 80 grit discs and 3M Hookit™ Low Profile Disc Pad 20352. Factors affecting disc performance include (but are not limited to) tool type and performance, tool orbit, disc back-up pad, grade, substrate, operator pressure, and dust extraction system. Achieving more than 2× is possible with an optimized system.
2 Lasts up to six times as long: Compared to 3M Aluminum Oxide Abrasive Products. Results are based on total cut over twenty-four × ninety-second cycles on an automated test with maple material using 5 inch (127 mm) 180 grit discs and 3M Hookit™ Low Profile Disc Pad 20352. End of life is defined as when the 3M disc cut rate drops to 75% of the initial cut rate of the conventional abrasive disc. Factors affecting disc performance include (but are not limited to) tool type and performance, tool orbit, disc back-up pad, grade, substrate, operator pressure, and dust extraction system.
