3M Gold Fre-Cut Sandpaper


Read 26 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Luthiers' favorite papers for dry sanding. They last longer!
The premium aluminum oxide abrasive cuts fast and resists clogging, for better efficiency. Treated to help prevent "fisheyes" (cratering) in waterbase finishes. These papers last longer—we use them in our own shops. 9" x 11" sheets.

Sold individually in 9" x 11" (23cm x 28cm) sheets.

These papers are graded on the "P-scale," indicating a truly uniform cutting surface (read about abrasive grading scales in our Finishing Step-by-Step book).

Here's how we use these abrasives in our own instrument shops:
"After spraying the build coats on my guitar finishes, I sand with 320 grit Fre-Cut, then spray and sand again. Then I move on to 400, 600, and 800 grit. Don't skip grits! Using all the grits makes the work easier for each sheet, and they last a lot longer."
Todd Sams, StewMac Production Manager and builder of Sams guitars

Best Sandpaper around

I've tried several papers, including one that the rep said beat anything that 3M made, and this one is tops. It clogs less, lasts longer, and cuts smoother than any other paper. It's worth the price for a project that needs the best, but I use slightly lower grade paper for other projects where the item won't be under massive scrutiny.

Excellent Product

This was my first time working on a guitar finish and this sandpaper worked exactly like I thought it would.

The ones to use

Although the 150 grit discolor white wood (maple) and actually leaves a yellow powder the 3M Gold Fre-Cut is a great sanding paper. I use every grade except for the 150 grit because of the discoloring. The others does not do that.

Amazing!

Possibly the best sandpaper I've used. It doesn't clog easily, and puts a nice uniform surface on the instrument. Highly recommended

recommended for sure

This is quality sandpaper that lasts longer than a lot of the one's I purchased at local hardware stores like Home Depot. Great for maple...
