Finesse-it Abrasivesfor Manufacturing & Assembly

3M™ Finesse-it™ family of products on black background

Brilliance. Every Time.

You don’t get a second chance at a first impression; Looks matter - which is why the final steps in painting are critical.

As science and technology advance, so too can the idea of a perfect finish.

Finesse-it™ Sanding Discs

3M™ Finesse-it™ Film Discs are made possible through microreplication – the science of creating precisely shaped three-dimensional structures distributed uniformly over the abrasive backing. The abrasives continually expose fresh cutting surfaces as they wear. This evenly-spaced configuration results in truly consistent performance – disc after disc.

Newest microreplicated technology, requiring less unit pressure.

Step 1: Machine Sanding
Level/remove the defect using an Orbital Sander and Film Disc.

Spray the disc with water to prevent the abrasive from loading during sanding.
