3M 7000120695 Surface Conditioning Belt 48x2 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7000120695 is a non-woven surface conditioning belt designed for metalworking and finishing applications. Built on a durable polyester scrim backing, this belt delivers moderate strength with controlled flexibility, making it well-suited for intermediate steps in multi-sequence finishing operations. The open web construction resists loading, which extends abrasive service life and reduces downtime during production runs. Coated with aluminum oxide (AO) mineral and bonded with a resin system, it cuts consistently without aggressively marring the substrate surface. Licensed technicians and fabricators use this belt on stationary and portable belt sanders for blending, deburring, and surface prep work.

This belt is used in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and light manufacturing environments where controlled surface conditioning is required. It performs on a range of substrates including stainless steel, brass, and other metals where preserving part geometry matters. The springy non-woven nylon fibers conform to the workpiece, allowing finishing without distorting edges or contours. Its 48-inch length and 2-inch width fit standard belt grinder and finishing machine configurations used in professional trade settings.
