Grinding Redefined: Introducing The New Cubitron 3

Editorial team|6 minutes to read


In the evolving world of abrasive technology, 3M™ introduces a groundbreaking advancement with Cubitron™ 3. This new line has been introduced to address the common challenges of rapid tool wear and high operational costs in grinding and cutting tasks. Featuring 3M™’s proprietary Precision-Shaped Grain technology, Cubitron™ 3 sets new performance standards, increases product lifespan, and contributes to sustainable management.


Why Choose Cubitron™ 3? 

Cubitron™ 3 sets a new industry standard in abrasive performance by offering significant improvements over its predecessor, Cubitron™ II. With redesigned ceramic triangular grains, this latest iteration not only improves cut rate but also extends the operational life of each tool to up to three times. This means fewer replacements, reduced downtime, and overall cost savings—crucial benefits in today’s high-demand workshops. 


Advancements from Cubitron™ II 

Cubitron™ II was introduced as the first abrasive with precision-shaped crushed ceramic grain, offering substantial improvements over traditional aluminum zirconia abrasives.

Building on this innovative foundation, Cubitron™ 3 further refines the grain shape and bonding technology, ensuring even greater durability, speed, and consistency in finish. 

The Cubitron™ 3 mineral has been reformed with unique breakout properties and placement on the carrier.


Key Benefits of Cubitron™ 3 

  • Higher Productivity: The superior cutting performance and longevity of Cubitron™ 3 allow for faster completion of tasks and less frequent tool changes, boosting workshop throughput. 
  • Cost Efficiency: Extended tool life translates into lower overall costs by reducing both direct expenses (like the need for new abrasives) and indirect costs (such as labor and machine downtime). 
  • Safety and Sustainability: Cubitron™ 3 aligns with modern safety standards, mitigating risks like respiratory, vibration, and noise hazards. Its durability also supports sustainable practices by reducing waste and environmental impact.
