3M 7010308083 Cloth Sanding Belt 80 Grit 85x18 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010308083 is an aluminum oxide cloth sanding belt designed for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking applications. Manufactured under the 341D series, this belt features an X-weight cloth backing that handles heavy sanding and grinding loads without tearing or stretching. The resin bond system resists high heat and pressure, keeping the abrasive mineral adhered through demanding cycles. At 85 inches long and 18 inches wide, the belt suits wide belt sanders, edge sanders, and portable belt sanding equipment. Licensed HVAC, metalworking, and fabrication shops rely on this belt for consistent material removal on metal and wood substrates alike.

This belt is built for wide belt sanding machines, edge sanders, and portable belt sanders operating on metal and wood workpieces. The tube-shaped band configuration also allows fitment onto a rubber expander wheel attachment for use with a die grinder or rotary drill, enabling access to inner and outer contours for deburring and parting line removal. It performs on steel, aluminum, and other common metal substrates as well as hardwood and softwood applications. This makes it a practical choice for fabrication shops, manufacturing lines, and finishing operations that process mixed materials.
