3M 7000118344 Aluminum Oxide Shop Roll 220 Grit 1.5x50 Yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000118344 is an aluminum oxide abrasive shop roll designed for fine-finishing work in metalworking, woodworking, and general fabrication environments. The roll measures 1.5 inches wide by 50 yards long and is loaded with 220-grit aluminum oxide abrasive, placing it in the very fine grade range. A J-weight cloth backing provides flexibility and conformability, allowing the roll to wrap around contoured surfaces, spindles, and irregular workpieces. Tradespeople and fabricators cut strips to length as needed, making this format efficient for lathe work, hand sanding, and deburring applications where a fixed-size sheet would be impractical.

This shop roll is suited for light stock removal, surface preparation before finishing, and final-pass smoothing on metal, wood, composites, and painted surfaces. The 220-grit aluminum oxide cuts consistently without loading quickly, making it a reliable choice for finish sanding between coats or prepping parts for inspection. It is commonly used in machine shops, HVAC duct fabrication, plumbing rough-in finishing, and general maintenance environments where a portable, versatile abrasive is needed at the bench or in the field.

Key Features

• 220-grit aluminum oxide abrasive for very fine material removal and surface finishing
• J-weight cloth backing offers flexibility for contoured and irregular surfaces
• 1.5-inch width suits lathe operations, spindle sanding, and hand applications
• 50-yard roll length allows tradespeople to cut strips to any required length
• Aluminum oxide abrasive provides consistent cut and durability across metal and wood substrates

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose abrasive shop roll for bench, lathe, and hand-sanding use across metalworking, woodworking, and light fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Cut strips to the required length using a utility knife or scissors against a straightedge. When using on a lathe or rotating spindle, ensure the workpiece and machine are operated per manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety codes. Keep the abrasive surface clear of excessive debris to maintain cut consistency and reduce heat buildup on the workpiece surface.
