Sanding belts for grinding, dimensioning, finishing and polishing a wide variety of metals. Each belt is constructed using high quality materials and is specifically tailored to work on whatever substrate you may need. So whether you need to reach inside a small metal part, or cover a wide metal surface (aluminium, brass, bronze...), we have a metalworking belt to help you make the job easier.

Our selection of sanding and grinding discs for metal brings the quality and performance of 3M abrasives to a variety of hand-held applications. Whether you are removing large welds, or carefully finishing a custom piece, we have the metal grinding discs to help you complete the job quickly and easily.

From fast cutting and aggressive grinding to generating a final finish. We help you select the metalworking wheels to cover almost every step of the metal working process you are performing. We have innovative wheels for grinding, cutting, deburring, finishing, polishing and surface preparation on any metal substrate.

• Airborne particles are potentially hazardous to workers through contact with exposed skin or eyes, and especially by inhalation.
• Adequate and suitable respiratory protection should be determined, based upon a risk assessment including an evaluation of the level of exposure, occupational exposure limits, and on what specific task and worker requirements.
• Related processes may also include welding fume and/or gases used.

• Depending on the specific operation, noise levels can range from moderate to very high reaching up to 120dB(A).
• Grinding, for example, can result in noise levels in the range of 97 – 105dB(A). Repeated daily personal noise exposure above LEP,d 85dB(A) can lead to permanent hearing loss and tinnitus.
• Almost anyone working in a metal fabrication environment is likely to be exposed to harmful noise level.
• In addition to protecting against harmful effects of noise, it is vital to maintain situational awareness so that important warning signals can be heard such as fire alarm and moving vehicles, for example.

• The risk of vibration-related injury is associated with tasks that require excessive bending of the wrists or time on tool.
• Prolonged exposure to vibration can cause damage to blood vessels, nerves and tendons in fingers, hands and wrists, leaving the sufferer with reduced sensitivity, strength and dexterity.
