3M 7000045198 Sanding Sheet 80 Grit 2.5x45 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000045198 is an adhesive-back sanding sheet designed for controlled, consistent material removal in finishing and surface preparation applications. Built on a lightweight A-weight refill pad roll backing, the sheet uses silicon carbide abrasive at 80 grit — a medium grade suited for cutting through coatings, smoothing rough surfaces, and preparing substrates before finer finishing passes. The sheet measures 2.5 inches wide and 45 inches long, giving trades a generous working surface in a narrow-profile format. The pressure-sensitive adhesive backing allows fast attachment to compatible pad holders without tools.

This sanding sheet is used in maintenance, fabrication, and finishing operations where a consistent medium-grit abrasive is needed across an extended surface. The 45-inch length makes it practical for drum sanders, oscillating spindle tools, or other machines that accept roll-style or strip-format sheets. It is commonly installed by finish carpenters, maintenance technicians, and fabrication shop staff working on wood, composites, or similar materials. The refill-style format means it is intended as a consumable replacement for compatible pad systems.

Compatibility

Designed as a refill-style adhesive-back sanding sheet for use with compatible pad roll holders and drum or strip sanding equipment that accepts 2.5-inch-wide abrasive strips.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by finish carpenters, fabricators, or maintenance technicians. Power down and disconnect any machine before removing a worn sheet or attaching a new one. Ensure the mounting surface or drum is clean and free of adhesive residue before applying the new sheet to achieve full contact and prevent edge lifting during use. Follow the equipment manufacturer's guidelines for sheet tensioning and alignment.
