3M 7010326169 Ao Cloth Sanding Belt P240 60x2.5 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010326169 is an aluminum oxide abrasive cloth belt designed for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking applications. Built on an X-weight cloth backing, this belt handles heavy sanding and grinding loads without breaking down under high heat or pressure. The resin bond holds the abrasive mineral firmly in place during aggressive stock removal. At P240 grit, it delivers a fine finish pass suited to the final stages of surface preparation on metal and wood substrates. Licensed trades and shop professionals install this belt on wide belt sanders, edge sanders, and portable belt sanders.

This belt is engineered for use in a range of sanding configurations common in metal fabrication and woodworking shops. Its tube-shaped band design allows it to conform to inner and outer contours, making it effective for removing parting lines, surface imperfections, and burrs from machined or cast metal parts. It also fits onto a rubber expander wheel attachment for use with a die grinder or rotary drill, expanding its range into tight or contoured areas that flat platen sanders cannot reach.
