Powermatic PM2244 Precut Abrasive 120 Grit, PK/3

Powermatic PM2244 120 Grit Abrasive For Sanding

Powermatic PM2244 precut abrasive 120 grit is an aluminum oxide sanding abrasive designed for heavy-duty all-purpose sanding on your PM2244 machine, so you get consistent stock removal on routine passes without cutting and trimming rolls on every changeover. The open coat construction provides non-loading properties that clear dust from between the grains, which keeps the abrasive cutting instead of glazing over on resinous or wide surfaces. The resin bonded construction delivers maximum grain retention, so the abrasive stays on the backing under continuous use and helps maintain a predictable scratch pattern. The heavy-duty "X" weight cloth backing adds strength to the belt during tension and tracking, which supports stable contact across the drum. An anti-static backing helps with easier dust pickup, so fines are pulled away more effectively by your dust system during sanding.

Key Abrasive Details That Support Daily Sanding

• Aluminum oxide for heavy-duty all-purpose sanding provides a versatile cutting surface, so one abrasive handles a broad mix of sanding passes without constant grit changes.
• Open coat construction delivers non-loading properties, so the abrasive sheds dust between the grains and maintains cutting efficiency during extended runs.
• Resin bonded design provides maximum grain retention, so abrasive particles stay anchored to the backing and help maintain consistent finish quality over the belt life.
• Heavy-duty "X" weight cloth backing supplies strength, so the abrasive resists tearing under drum tension and tracks smoothly across the sanding width.
• Anti-static backing supports easier dust pickup, so dust extraction systems pull fines away from the work area and reduce dust buildup at the sanding interface.

Sanding Performance And Finish Control On The Machine

The aluminum oxide abrasive in this PM2244 precut 120 grit setup delivers heavy-duty all-purpose sanding, which helps achieve uniform material removal across panels and parts in routine passes. The open coat structure adds non-loading behavior by spacing the grit, which reduces clogging on workpieces and supports more consistent cut rates over longer sanding cycles. The resin bonded construction holds abrasive grains firmly during operation, which preserves the 120 grit scratch pattern as belts wear. The heavy-duty "X" weight cloth backing keeps the abrasive stable under machine tension, which supports even pressure across the sanding surface. The anti-static backing helps fines leave the sanding zone with dust collection, which contributes to a cleaner sanding path and more predictable surface preparation.

How This PM2244 Abrasive Works In Your Shop

Precut 120 Grit Abrasive For PM2244 Sanding

This PM2244 precut abrasive 120 grit set is configured for heavy-duty all-purpose sanding, so it fits routine leveling and surface prep tasks on the PM2244 drum or wide-belt style setup where 120 grit is needed. The aluminum oxide abrasive provides a balanced cut that suits general sanding passes, so operators can move between different woods or panel runs while keeping a consistent grit in the machine. The open coat construction with non-loading properties lets dust escape between the grains, which supports longer effective sanding runs before performance drops off. The resin bonded grain retention keeps abrasive particles locked to the backing while under load, which helps maintain finish uniformity and reduces the impact of isolated grain loss. The heavy-duty "X" weight cloth backing carries this construction under machine tension, which supports belt stability over repeated cycles.

Details That Help Maintain Repeatable Sanding Results

The anti-static backing on this PM2244 precut abrasive 120 grit product is designed for easier dust pickup, which helps dust extraction move fines off the workline and supports clear visibility of surfaces during sanding. When combined with the open coat design, the anti-static backing assists in moving dust away from the abrasive interface, which helps sustain the cutting action of the aluminum oxide grains. The resin bonded structure delivers maximum grain retention, so the abrasive surface changes gradually rather than shedding grains unpredictably, which supports repeatable surface preparation settings on the machine. The heavy-duty "X" weight cloth backing resists stretching under operating tension, which helps maintain belt tracking and sanding pressure from job to job. Together these elements let the PM2244 abrasive maintain a consistent 120 grit profile for general-purpose sanding workflows.
