Developed for increased throughput and consistent finish regardless of the job, 3M™ Cubitron™ II sanding discs, sheet rolls, sanding belts and cutting and grinding discs deliver 30% faster cutting and last twice as long as conventional ceramic abrasives. Featuring our Precision Shaped Grain (PSG) – essentially, sharp peaks that slice, not plow, through paint and metal – Cubitron II is designed for the most efficient cut and even wear. This allows it to run cooler and require less pressure vs. traditional abrasives. Excellent for lighter-weight metals like aluminum, and for reducing fatigue among your body repair technicians.
To help you deliver consistent quality repairs, 3M provides clear, easy-to-follow standard operating procedures for a range of common auto body repairs. These process guides include illustrated step-by-step procedures, along with convenient checklists for the 3M automotive products and equipment required for each repair job.
