3M 7010307970 Abrasive Belt 36 Grit 168x3 Inch Ao Cloth

Product Description

The 3M 7010307970 is an aluminum oxide coated abrasive cloth belt designed for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking applications. Measuring 168 inches in length and 3 inches in width, this belt runs on wide belt, edge, and portable belt sanding equipment. The 36-grit aluminum oxide mineral delivers aggressive stock removal and cuts fast across a range of metal and wood substrates. X-weight cloth backing handles heavy sanding and grinding loads, while the resin bond resists the high heat and pressure common in production metalworking environments. Licensed trades and fabrication shop operators rely on this belt for demanding surface prep and finishing work.

This belt is suited for both metal and wood substrate applications in residential shop, light industrial, and fabrication environments. Its tube-shaped band profile conforms to inner and outer contours, making it effective for removing parting lines, surface imperfections, and burrs from cast or machined metal parts. The belt also fits onto a rubber expander wheel attachment for use with a die grinder or rotary drill, expanding its utility to portable tool setups where fixed belt sanders are not practical.
