Product Description

The 3M 7000118259 is an aluminum oxide open-coat abrasive sheet built on a D-weight paper backing. Designed for hand sanding and light machine sanding applications, this sheet delivers consistent cut on wood, metal, and painted surfaces. The 40-grit designation makes it suitable for aggressive material removal, surface leveling, and prep work ahead of finer finishing passes. At 0.11 pounds per sheet, it is lightweight and easy to handle. Trades and finish carpenters, body shop technicians, and general contractors reach for this sheet when fast stock removal is the priority.

This abrasive sheet is used in residential and commercial construction, automotive bodywork, woodworking shops, and metal fabrication environments. The 9-inch by 11-inch format fits standard hand sanding blocks and is compatible with most quarter-sheet and half-sheet pad sanders when cut to size. It is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 50 sheets per purchase.

Installation Notes

No power tools or licensed trade certification are required for hand sanding applications. When used with orbital or belt sanders, ensure the sheet is properly secured before operating the tool. Always wear appropriate respiratory protection and eye protection when sanding, as fine abrasive dust is a health hazard. Follow applicable safety data sheet guidance for the specific surface material being sanded.
