3M 7000118797 Aluminum Oxide Cloth Belt 36 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7000118797 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 handles heavy sanding and grinding loads without breaking down. The resin bond system resists high heat and pressure generated during aggressive stock removal. Measuring 60 inches in length and 6 inches in width with a 36-grit mineral, it delivers fast, consistent cutting across metal and wood substrates. Licensed trades and industrial finishers rely on this belt for high-throughput surface prep work.

This belt is suited for wide belt sanders, edge sanders, and portable belt sanding machines. 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 parts. The belt also fits onto a rubber expander wheel attachment used with a die grinder or rotary drill, extending its range of use to contoured and hard-to-reach areas on both metal and wood workpieces.
