tions. The Trizact 366FA belt is coated on a sturdy waterproof Yweight cloth backing. In addition to grinding and polishing the belt also has the ability to do light dimensioning. The new belt makes use of 3M's microreplication technology, utilizing threedimensional, p y r a m i d - s h a p e d grain particles that are exactly the same. They also contain mul-

tiple layers of abrasive mineral. As these structures wear away, fresh new cutting edges are continuously exposed. This provides uniform cuts and consistent, predictable finishes. 366FA is ideal for wet centerless grinding of hydraulic bar stock, stainless steel tubing, automotive and appliance components, sports equipment, and a variety of other cylindrical parts.
