3M 7000118849 Aluminum Oxide Cloth Belt 80 Grit 24x3 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000118849 is an aluminum oxide coated cloth sanding belt designed for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking applications. The 341D series belt measures 24 inches in length and 3 inches in width, featuring an X-weight cloth backing that handles heavy sanding and grinding loads. A resin bond system resists high heat and pressure, keeping the abrasive mineral intact through demanding cycles. Licensed HVAC technicians, machinists, welders, and sheet metal workers reach for this belt when removing burrs, parting lines, and surface imperfections from metal and wood substrates.

This belt is suited for wide belt sanders, edge sanders, and portable belt sanding machines. Its tube-shaped band geometry also fits rubber expander wheel attachments used with die grinders or rotary drills, allowing it to conform to inner and outer contours. The 80-grit aluminum oxide mineral cuts aggressively enough for rapid stock removal while still leaving a surface finish acceptable for subsequent operations on both metal and wood workpieces.
