Features
3M Flexible Diamond Roll 6451J features micron-graded diamond particles which are metal bonded to a low-stretch backing, ideal for applications where the abrasive is supported by a contact wheel or platen. Three available open dot patterns allow for added loading reduction or faster stock removal. Roll 6451J is designed for use on hard-to-grind materials.
Designed for Grinding Jobs Requiring Strength and Support
Combining the strength of diamond abrasive and a low-stretch water resistant backing, our 3M™ Flexible Diamond Roll 6451J is built for achieving refined finishes on hard to grind materials. Most suitable for grinding applications where the abrasive is supported by a contact wheel or platen, the abrasive roll is built for use on hard-to-grind surfaces including thermal sprays, carbides, composites, chilled iron, non-ferrous metals and glass. It is available in a range of micron grades for a variety of uses. The roll can be easily cut and converted in a variety of sizes.
Our Open Dot Pattern: What Does it Mean?
The open dot pattern on each 3M™ Flexible Diamond abrasive product means that the diamond mineral particles are adhered to the backing in a series of small dots. This is designed to provide aggressive cutting action while also allowing consistent space for evacuation of stock particles during use, helping reduce loading and prolonging the life of the abrasive surface without sacrificing cut rates.
3M™ Flexible Diamond Belt 6451J is available in three open dot patterns for a range of uses. Pattern 18 is a small dot pattern equating to 25 pellets per inch. Our B2 Pattern has medium dots with 17 pellets per inch, and is designed to deliver an aggressive cutting action with improved coolant flow and increased swarf removal. Pattern 21 is offered for grades 250µ and 300µ only. It utilizes larger dots to assist in applications where high stock removal is required and loading is an issue. Generally, the smaller dot patterns will be the least aggressive and produce finer finishes, whereas the larger dot patterns will be more aggressive for stock removal.
