3M 7000118256 Utility Cloth Sheet 180 Grit 9x11 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000118256 is an aluminum oxide utility cloth sheet designed for sanding and surface preparation across a wide range of trade and workshop applications. Built on a J-weight cloth backing, the sheet is light and flexible, allowing it to conform to contours and irregular surfaces without tearing under moderate hand or tool pressure. At 180 grit, it sits in the fine-abrasive range, making it well suited for finish sanding, light stock removal, and surface blending. Each sheet measures 9 inches x 11 inches, a standard size compatible with most hand-sanding blocks and folded-sheet applications. Licensed tradespeople and experienced DIYers alike reach for this format when consistent scratch patterns and dimensional control matter.

This utility cloth sheet is used in residential and commercial settings wherever controlled material removal is required. Common applications include sanding bare wood, metal deburring, paint scuff-sanding between coats, and preparing surfaces before priming or finishing. The flexible J-weight backing makes it practical for curved or profiled work where a stiffer paper-backed abrasive would crack or lift. It is sold individually per sheet, with a minimum order quantity of 50 sheets per the supplier unit-of-measure designation.
