3M 7000118865 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit Aluminum Oxide 48x6 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000118865 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, this belt features a 60-grit cut rate suited for aggressive stock removal and surface conditioning. The X-weight cloth backing handles heavy sanding and grinding loads, while the resin bond resists high heat and pressure during sustained use. Licensed tradespeople in metal fabrication and woodworking shops rely on this belt for consistent performance across wide belt, edge, and portable belt sanding equipment.

This abrasive belt is well suited for wide belt sanders, edge sanders, and portable belt sanding machines used in metal fabrication shops, automotive bodywork prep areas, and woodworking facilities. The tube-shaped band design fits inner and outer contours, making it effective for removing parting lines, imperfections, and burrs from metal substrates. It can also be mounted on a rubber expander wheel attachment for use with a die grinder or rotary drill, expanding its range of portable applications.
