3M 7000118798 Abrasive Cloth Belt 36 Grit 60x2.5 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7000118798 is an aluminum oxide coated abrasive cloth belt designed for demanding deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking sanding applications. Built on an X-weight cloth backing, this belt handles heavy sanding and grinding loads without breaking down under high heat or pressure. The resin bond system locks the 36-grit aluminum oxide abrasive in place, delivering fast cutting action across a range of metal and wood substrates. Sold individually, this belt measures 60 inches in length and 2-1/2 inches in width, making it compatible with wide belt, edge, and portable belt sanding setups.

This belt is suited for use on metal substrates where parting lines, surface imperfections, and burrs need to be removed efficiently. It also performs well on wood in applications that call for aggressive stock removal. The tube-shaped band design allows it to conform to inner and outer contours, making it a practical choice for die grinder or rotary drill setups when mounted on a rubber expander wheel attachment. Typical users include metalworking fabricators, welding shops, woodworking operations, and maintenance technicians who require consistent abrasive performance across a variety of surface profiles.
