3M 7000118801 Abrasive Belt 60x6 Inch 60 Grit Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7000118801 is an aluminum oxide coated abrasive 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. A resin bond system holds the abrasive mineral firmly in place, resisting high heat and pressure generated during extended use. The aluminum oxide mineral cuts fast and holds up across a range of metal and wood substrates. This belt is a practical, workhorse consumable for fabrication shops, metalworking operations, and finishing lines where consistent stock removal is required.

The 7000118801 is suited for wide belt sanding machines, edge sanders, and portable belt sanders. It is also compatible with rubber expander wheel attachments used on die grinders and rotary drills, allowing it to reach inner and outer contours for parting line removal and burr cleanup. Typical applications include ferrous and non-ferrous metal deburring, weld blending, and general surface conditioning on metal and wood substrates. The 60-grit grade makes it appropriate for aggressive stock removal and initial surface prep rather than fine finishing work.
