3M 7010299102 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 18x0.5 Inch Ao Cloth

Product Description

The 3M 7010299102 is an aluminum oxide cloth-backed abrasive belt designed for general-purpose material removal across metal and wood substrates. Running at 120 grit, this belt handles deburring, surface conditioning, and finishing work on mild steel, carbon steel, aluminum, bronze, and brass. The XF-weight polyester cloth backing resists tearing under heavy sanding and grinding pressure, and the resin bond system holds up against the heat generated during aggressive stock removal. It is sized at 18 inches long by 1/2 inch wide, making it suited for benchtop and backstand belt sanders as well as portable belt grinders used in fabrication and maintenance environments.

This belt is intended for metalworking and light woodworking applications in industrial, fabrication shop, and maintenance settings. Typical uses include deburring cut edges, blending weld seams, and general surface prep on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The waterproof polyester backing allows use in both wet and dry grinding or sanding operations, adding versatility for shops that run coolant or water during metalworking processes. Licensed machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and metalworking tradespeople are the primary installers and users of this consumable.
