3M 7000118793 Ao Cloth Sanding Belt 48x2 Inch 80 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7000118793 is an aluminum oxide abrasive cloth belt designed for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking applications. Built on an X-weight cloth backing, this belt withstands heavy sanding and grinding loads. The resin bond system handles high heat and pressure, keeping the mineral bonded under demanding conditions. At 48 inches long and 2 inches wide with an 80-grit cut rating, it delivers fast stock removal on metal and wood substrates. Licensed tradespeople and shop technicians handling fabrication, weld cleanup, or surface prep are the primary users of this belt.

This belt suits wide belt sanders, edge sanders, and portable belt sanding machines. Its tube-shaped band profile also fits rubber expander wheel attachments, making it compatible with die grinders and rotary drills for contouring inner and outer profiles, removing parting lines, and cleaning up burrs on machined or fabricated metal parts. It is appropriate for both production metalworking environments and general woodworking shops where a durable, fast-cutting abrasive is required.
