3M recommend switching to the new products as a priority as soon as they become available. Based on typical demand patterns, 3M anticipates stocks of some items will start to run out in November 2023. So we recommend speaking to us today about swapping over!
3) How can customers access the new products to trial first?
Based on 3M™ internal and field testing, most customers should be confident that running extensive testing should not be required. However, if a trial is required, please speak with us and we will be happy to help.
4) Why has 3M introduced a special grinding wheel for gouging applications?
After listening to customers that do a lot of gouging and back grinding in their operations, the required performance parameters mean a dedicated product with a purpose made formulation optimized for this work. This helps deliver high performance that 3M™ Cubitron™ 3 represents.
5) Why won’t 3M™ Cubitron™ II Performance Abrasives continue to be sold?
This helps with selection simplicity, which customers tell us is important. Thanks to the manufacturing technology advances we have made, the price/ performance differential between the two ranges means there is no need to retain the existing range.
