3M 7000118864 Ao Cloth Sanding Belt 50 Grit 48x6 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000118864 is an aluminum oxide coated cloth sanding belt designed for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking applications. Built on an X-weight cloth backing, it handles heavy sanding and grinding without breaking down under high heat or pressure. The resin bond locks the abrasive mineral in place, extending belt life through demanding cycles. At 48 inches long and 6 inches wide with a 50 grit cut, this belt is suited for wide belt, edge, and portable belt sanding equipment. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working on metal substrates and wood surfaces will find this a reliable consumable for production and shop environments.

This belt is appropriate for use in residential shop settings, light manufacturing, and metal fabrication environments. Its tube-shaped band profile fits inner and outer contours, making it effective for removing parting lines, surface imperfections, and burrs from machined or cast metal parts. It is also compatible with a rubber expander wheel attachment used with a die grinder or rotary drill, expanding its reach to contoured and hard-to-access surfaces. Wood sanding applications on flat or profiled stock are also within its operating range.
