3M 7000118858 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 42x1 Inch Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7000118858 is an aluminum oxide cloth abrasive belt designed for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking material removal. Built on an X-weight cloth backing, the belt handles heavy sanding and grinding loads without tearing or stretching. An 80-grit aluminum oxide mineral provides fast cutting action across a wide range of metal and wood substrates. The resin bond system is formulated to hold up under high heat and pressure generated during aggressive stock removal. This belt measures 42 inches in length and 1 inch in width and is sold individually. It is primarily installed and used by metal fabricators, maintenance technicians, and woodworking professionals.

The 7000118858 is suited for wide belt, edge, and portable belt sanding applications. Its tube-shaped construction fits both inner and outer contours, making it effective for removing parting lines, surface imperfections, and burrs from metal components. The belt can also be mounted onto a rubber expander wheel attachment for use with a die grinder or rotary drill, expanding its utility in tight or contoured work areas. It is appropriate for use on metal substrates and wood in both shop and field service settings.
