3M 7000118861 Abrasive Belt 36 Grit 48x6 Inch Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7000118861 is an aluminum oxide coated abrasive cloth belt designed for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking applications. Measuring 48 inches in length and 6 inches in width with a 36-grit cut, this belt uses a tough aluminum oxide mineral that cuts fast and holds up across a range of substrates. The X-weight cloth backing handles heavy sanding and grinding loads, and the resin bond resists high heat and pressure buildup during use. It is installed and serviced by metalworking technicians, fabricators, and finishing trades.

This belt is suited for wide belt sanders, edge sanders, and portable belt sanding equipment. The tube-shaped band profile fits inner and outer contours, making it effective for removing parting lines, surface imperfections, and burrs from metal workpieces. It is also applicable to wood substrates in general finishing and stock-removal operations. The belt can be mounted on a rubber expander wheel attachment for use with a die grinder or rotary drill, expanding its range of motion for contour and detail work.
