3M 7000118866 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit Aluminum Oxide 48x6 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000118866 is an aluminum oxide coated abrasive belt designed for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking applications. Built on an X-weight cloth backing, the belt handles heavy sanding and grinding loads without breaking down. The 80-grit aluminum oxide mineral cuts fast and maintains consistent performance across metal and wood substrates. At 48 inches long and 6 inches wide, this belt is suited for wide belt, edge, and portable belt sanding equipment. Licensed tradespeople and shop technicians working in fabrication, manufacturing, or finishing operations will find this belt a reliable consumable for demanding surface prep work.

This belt is intended for use in metal finishing environments where deburring, blending, and surface conditioning are routine tasks. It fits wide belt sanders, edge sanders, and portable belt sanding equipment. The tube-shaped band geometry also allows it to be mounted on a rubber expander wheel attachment used with a die grinder or rotary drill, making it adaptable for contour work on both inner and outer curved surfaces. It is appropriate for use on metal substrates and wood in both production and general shop settings.
