3M 7010307973 Cloth Sanding Belt 60x6 Inch P120 Grit Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010307973 is an aluminum oxide coated cloth sanding belt designed for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking applications. Part of the 341D series, this belt measures 60 inches in length by 6 inches in width and carries a P120 grit rating for moderate stock removal and surface conditioning. The X-weight cloth backing handles heavy sanding and grinding loads without breaking down under pressure. A resin bond system resists heat buildup, making this belt suitable for sustained production use. It weighs 0.47 pounds and is sold individually.

This belt is well suited for wide belt sanders, edge sanders, and portable belt sanding equipment. It performs on metal substrates including carbon steel and general ferrous materials, as well as wood surfaces. The tube-shaped form factor also allows the belt to fit onto a rubber expander wheel attachment for use with a die grinder or rotary drill, making it useful for reaching inner contours, removing parting lines, and cleaning up burrs in tight areas. Typical users include metalworking shops, fabricators, and woodworking professionals who need a reliable general-purpose abrasive belt.
