The family of 3M Accuspray System HVLP spray guns is growing with the addition of the new 3M Accuspray HG14 spray gun for the application of coatings requiring a 1.4 mm atomizing head. The HVLP system, which combines a replaceable atomizing head and 3M PPS technology, is designed to reduce solvent consumption.
For paint removal, body filler rough shaping and feather edging, a new abrasive technology from 3M promises to provide a faster cut rate and longer life for body shops. The 3M Cubitron II Clean Sanding Hookit Disc features a triangular-shaped ceramic grain that continuously fractures to form sharp points and edges. It also has a cut rate that the company says is as much as 30% faster and lasts twice as long as conventional ceramic premium abrasives.
Cubitron II discs are available in 80+ and 120+ grit for 3-, 5- and 6-inch sanders, and are designed to work with a vacuum system or used independently.
