3M 7000118796 Abrasive Cloth Belt 60 Grit 132x3 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000118796 is an aluminum oxide coated abrasive cloth belt engineered for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking applications. Built on an X-weight cloth backing, this belt handles heavy sanding and grinding loads without breaking down. The resin bond system holds up under high heat and pressure, keeping the 60-grit mineral cutting aggressively throughout the belt's service life. At 132 inches long and 3 inches wide, it is sized for wide belt, edge, and portable belt sanding setups. Licensed HVAC technicians, metal fabricators, and general tradespeople working on metal or wood substrates reach for this belt as a reliable consumable for fast stock removal and surface preparation.

This abrasive belt is suited for both residential shop and commercial fabrication environments. Its tube-shaped band design allows it to conform to inner and outer contours, making it effective for removing parting lines, surface imperfections, and burrs from metal workpieces. It is also compatible with rubber expander wheel attachments for use with a die grinder or rotary drill, expanding its utility on irregular profiles and hard-to-reach surfaces. Woodworking applications such as dimensional shaping and surface smoothing are also within its range.
