The Right Sanding Abrasives for Collision Repair
No matter the job – sanding auto paint, shaping body filler, featheredging or final prep before priming – 3M™ Cubitron™ II abrasives make a big difference in quality and throughput. Featuring our Precision Shaped Grain (PSG), Cubitron II sanding discs, sheet rolls, file belts and wheels cut 30% faster and last twice as long as conventional ceramic abrasives. They also run cooler, which is vital when working with metals like aluminum which can discolor easily. And they remove more material with less grinding pressure, which is great for you and your entire body repair team.

3M Precision-Shaped Grain
The science of speed
-
3M Precision-Shaped Grain in the Cubitron II discs continuously fractures to form sharp points and edges — slicing cleaner, faster, staying cooler and lasting many times longer.
Conventional ceramic abrasive grain is irregular in shape. Instead of a clean, machining action, the grain “plows” through the metal, causing heat build up, slower cutting and shorter life.
Here why his shop switched to 3M™ Cubitron™ II Abrasives.
