They last longer!

3M Gold Fre-Cut Sandpaper


Read 19 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Luthiers' favorite papers for dry sanding. 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

Great sandpaper

This sandpaper is great. I use it mainly for sanding and polishing the aluminum parts on the pickup winders I build.

Tough to beat

Inexpensive sand paper is usually cheap, but you need to use a lot more and it leaves residue on your projects. This paper is long lasting, cuts well, and worth every cent. Level sanded an entire body with less than a sheet. Don't waste time - pickup a few sheets and be ready for your next project.

Its 3m what else can i say? 3m is always a good name brand. It lives up to its reputation.

Love it!

To go from regular hardware store sand paper to this is shocking to say the least! Not having to work around the gouges and irregularities caused by bad sandpaper when doing finishing and fretboards is a real time and stress saver! The only comment I have on it is that the 150 grit does leave a yellow dust when you sand so if you sand a nut or something expect to move up the grit scale or have a yellow looking nut.
