Assemblies & Segments

Assemblies & Segments are specialized abrasive components designed for consistent material removal, controlled finishing, and long service life in demanding industrial applications. Commonly used in metal fabrication, surface conditioning, and automated grinding systems, these products deliver reliable performance where precision and durability are essential.

This category primarily features slashed cloth abrasive segments, engineered to provide aggressive cutting action while maintaining flexibility and heat resistance. Their segmented construction allows for efficient debris removal, reduced loading, and improved airflow during operation, resulting in smoother finishes and extended abrasive life.

Products such as the 3M Cloth RXC Slashed Segment 384F are manufactured using high-quality abrasive grains bonded to durable cloth backing. Available in multiple grit options, these segments support a wide range of applications—from heavy stock removal to controlled finishing. Coarser grits are ideal for rapid material removal, while finer grits offer enhanced surface refinement without sacrificing consistency.

Assemblies & Segments are well-suited for continuous-use environments and automated equipment, making them a dependable choice for manufacturers seeking efficiency, repeatability, and surface quality. By selecting the appropriate grit and construction, professionals can optimize productivity while achieving precise, uniform results across various metalworking and finishing operations.
