3M 7000120717 Abrasive Belt 2x48 in Aluminum Oxide Very Fine

Product Description

The 3M 7000120717 is a non-woven abrasive belt engineered for surface finishing, blending, and light material removal in metalworking and fabrication applications. Measuring 2 inches wide by 48 inches long, this belt uses aluminum oxide abrasive bonded to a scrim backing, delivering consistent cut and finish across the belt's surface life. Rated Very Fine grade, it is suited for final finishing passes, deburring, and surface preparation where controlled stock removal and smooth results are required. The non-woven construction conforms to irregular contours, making it effective on tubing, welds, and formed parts. Wet and dry operation is supported.

This belt is designed for use on stationary belt grinders and portable belt sanders commonly found in metal fabrication shops, HVAC duct and component shops, and plumbing or pipefitting work areas. The Very Fine grade is appropriate for finishing stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and similar metals where surface condition matters before inspection, coating, or assembly. The 2 by 48 inch format fits a wide range of standard belt grinder platens used in trade and light industrial settings.
