3M 7010326166 Abrasive Belt P180 Grit 42x1 Inch Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7010326166 is an aluminum oxide coated abrasive belt designed for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking applications. Built on an X-weight cloth backing, this belt handles heavy sanding and grinding pressure without breaking down. The resin bond resists high heat, and the aluminum oxide mineral cuts fast across a range of metal and wood substrates. At 42 inches long and 1 inch wide with a P180 grit rating, it suits fine-to-medium stock removal and surface finishing. Licensed tradespeople and shop technicians working with portable belt sanders, edge sanders, or wide belt machines will find this belt a reliable consumable for production or maintenance work.

This belt is suited for both wide belt and portable belt sanding setups in residential shop, light manufacturing, and field metalworking environments. Its tube-shaped band design allows it to fit inner and outer contours, making it well-suited for removing parting lines, weld seams, surface imperfections, and burrs from metal parts. The belt also fits onto a rubber expander wheel attachment used with a die grinder or rotary drill, expanding its range of use in tight or contoured areas. It performs on metal substrates and wood alike, giving fabricators and finish carpenters a single consumable across multiple tasks.
