tions. The Trizact 366FA belt is coated on a sturdy waterproof Y- weight cloth backing. In addition to grinding and polishing the belt also has the ability to do light dimensioning. The new belt makes use of 3M's microreplica- tion technology, utilizing three- dimensional , pyramid-shaped grain particles that are exactly the same. They also contain mul-
