3M 7000118860 Abrasive Cloth Belt P120 Grit 42x1 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7000118860 is an aluminum oxide coated abrasive cloth belt designed for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking applications. Measuring 42 inches in length and 1 inch in width, this P120-grit belt uses a tough aluminum oxide mineral on an X-weight cloth backing bonded with a resin system rated for high heat and pressure. The result is a belt that cuts fast and holds up under sustained sanding and grinding loads. It is installed by licensed tradespeople, fabricators, and metalworking professionals who require consistent stock removal and surface refinement.

This belt is suited for wide belt, edge, and portable belt sanding operations on metal substrates including deburring of cast or machined parts, as well as general woodworking surface preparation. The tube-shaped construction allows the belt to conform to inner and outer contours, making it effective for removing parting lines, imperfections, and burrs on irregular or round workpieces. It is also compatible with rubber expander wheel attachments used with die grinders and rotary drills when sold with the appropriate accessory.
