3M 7000118544 Aluminum Oxide Shop Roll 60 Grit 2x50 Yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000118544 is a 2-inch wide, 50-yard aluminum oxide shop roll designed for general-purpose material removal, blending, and finishing in professional shop and trade environments. Running at 60 grit, it falls in the medium grade range, making it well suited for stock removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces without aggressive gouging. The X-weight cloth backing provides durability under tension and resists tearing when cutting strips to length, which is standard practice for use on handheld block sanders, lathe work, and power tools. Licensed tradespeople, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers and users of this consumable.

This shop roll sees use in HVAC fabrication shops, plumbing rough-in work involving copper and steel prep, electrical enclosure deburring, and general metal finishing. The 50-yard length provides extended run time before replacement, reducing downtime in high-volume service environments. Its 2-inch width is a common shop standard, compatible with most shop roll dispensers and hand-sanding blocks used in light industrial and trade settings. The medium 60-grit cut rate is appropriate for surface prep before welding, painting, or bonding operations.
