3M 7000118856 Cloth Sanding Belt 36 Grit 24x3 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000118856 is an aluminum oxide cloth abrasive belt designed for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking applications. This 341D series belt features an X-weight cloth backing that resists tearing and flexing under heavy sanding and grinding loads. The resin bond holds up under high heat and pressure, making it a reliable choice for production and maintenance work. At 24 inches long and 3 inches wide with a 36-grit rating, it removes material fast and handles a range of substrates without glazing or breaking down prematurely. Licensed tradespeople and shop technicians reach for this belt when they need consistent cut rate and durability.

The 7000118856 belt suits wide belt sanders, edge sanders, and portable belt sanding equipment. Its tube-shaped construction also allows it to mount on a rubber expander wheel attachment for use with a die grinder or rotary drill, making it effective for reaching inner and outer contours, parting lines, and hard-to-access burrs. Applications include ferrous and non-ferrous metal finishing, weld cleanup, and light wood stock removal in both shop and field settings.
