3M™ PAPER SHEET 110N, 120 A-WEIGHT, 9 IN X 11 IN, 100/INNER, 1000 EA/CASE

We make 3M™ paper sheet 110N for sanding wood by hand. The garnet mineral provides a softer cut and the lightweight paper backing is flat for a more uniform scratch. This 9 x 11 in sheet is ideal for final sequence finishing of wood surfaces. The softer cut of garnet on the 3M™ paper sheet 110N leaves a smoother finish than other abrasive minerals when sanding wood by hand. A light A-weight paper backing provides flexibility and its flat profile leaves a consistent, light scratch. Available in a broad range of grades from 80 to 220, this popular 9 x 11 in sheet can easily be cut to fit any hand tool or folded to reach critical surfaces, corners and recesses. Though garnet is softer than other minerals, it fractures in use, revealing new sharp edges. Garnet mineral dulls more quickly than other abrasive minerals, an advantage when working with wood. It cuts less deeply and leaves a smoother finish. Finely finished wood products depend upon meticulous sanding to prepare wood for stains and other coatings. Garnet also tends to burnish wood, which closes off pores, preventing excessive absorption of stain for more even coloration. Abrasives cut better and last longer when dust isn't clogging the cutting surface of the abrasives. Open coat construction means the abrasive grains are less densely spaced on the backing, allowing sawdust to be evacuated keeping cutting mineral free. This allows the sheet to continue cutting even when sanding soft woods and materials that would, otherwise, clog the grain and hinder sanding ability. This paper backed, garnet sheet is designed for sanding unfinished wood by hand in industrial cabinetry and furniture manufacturing, custom woodworking and millwork, primary wood and panel processing.
