3M 7000118863 Abrasive Belt 40 Grit 48x6 Inch Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7000118863 is an aluminum oxide cloth abrasive belt designed for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking applications. Known as the 341D series, this belt features an X-weight cloth backing that holds up under heavy sanding and grinding pressure. The 40-grit abrasive cuts aggressively, making it effective for removing burrs, parting lines, and surface imperfections on metal and wood substrates. The resin bond construction resists heat and pressure buildup during extended use. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and metalworking tradespeople working with metal fabrication or surface prep will find this belt suited to production-level demands.

This belt measures 48 inches in length and 6 inches in width, suiting wide belt sanders, edge sanders, and portable belt sanding equipment. The tube-shaped band design allows it to fit inner and outer contours when mounted on a rubber expander wheel attachment used with a die grinder or rotary drill. It is appropriate for both metal substrates and wood, covering a range of shop and field surface preparation tasks common in fabrication, HVAC ductwork, plumbing rough-in, and general metalworking environments.
