3M 7010307957 Ao Cloth Sanding Belt 36x2 Inch 80 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7010307957 is an aluminum oxide cloth sanding belt designed for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking surface preparation. Known as the 341D belt, it features an X-weight cloth backing that holds up under heavy sanding and grinding loads. The resin bond resists high heat and pressure, making it well suited for sustained use on power equipment. At 36 inches long and 2 inches wide with an 80-grit cut, this belt delivers fast material removal on metal and wood substrates. It is installed and used by metalworkers, fabricators, and finishing tradespeople who require consistent abrasive performance across production and shop environments.

This belt is intended for wide belt sanders, edge sanders, and portable belt sanding machines. Its tube-shaped band construction also allows it to fit onto a rubber expander wheel attachment for use with a die grinder or rotary drill, making it adaptable to contouring and deburring tasks on inner and outer workpiece profiles. Suitable for metal substrates including steel and general woodworking applications where a medium-grit cut is appropriate.
