3M 7000118515 Aluminum Oxide Shop Roll 1 in X 50 Yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000118515 is an aluminum oxide abrasive shop roll designed for general-purpose material removal, blending, and surface preparation in trade and shop environments. The roll measures 1 inch wide by 50 yards long, providing an extended working supply for hand sanding, wrapping around blocks, or cutting to custom lengths as needed. The X-weight cloth backing delivers firmness and tear resistance under moderate to heavy pressure, making it suitable for use on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Medium grade grit balances cut rate with surface finish, a common choice for intermediate stock removal and scratch refinement.

This shop roll is used in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and field service applications where a flexible, tear-resistant abrasive is needed. The cloth-backed format allows technicians and tradespeople to tear or cut strips on the fly without scissors, wrap contoured workpieces, or feed through shop-built sanding fixtures. It is well suited for deburring metal edges, prepping welds, and conditioning surfaces before coating or assembly. HVAC sheet metal workers, pipefitters, millwrights, and general maintenance mechanics commonly keep shop rolls on hand as a standard consumable.

Installation Notes

No power tools or special equipment are required for hand use. When cutting strips, use a straightedge and utility knife or fold-and-tear against a sharp edge to get clean lengths. Keep abrasive rolls stored in a dry location to prevent moisture absorption, which can soften the cloth backing and reduce performance. Dispose of used abrasive material in accordance with local regulations if surface contaminants such as lead paint or hazardous coatings are present.
