3M 7010326173 Ao Cloth Sanding Belt 60 Grit 132x2 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010326173 is an aluminum oxide cloth sanding 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 locks the abrasive mineral firmly in place, while the aluminum oxide grain cuts fast and maintains performance across metal and wood substrates. Licensed trades and production shops use this belt on wide belt sanders, edge sanders, and portable belt sanders where consistent stock removal is the priority.

This belt is suited for both metal and wood applications in production and maintenance environments. The tube-shaped band profile fits inner and outer contours, making it effective for removing parting lines, surface imperfections, and burrs from cast or machined metal parts. It can also be mounted onto a rubber expander wheel attachment for use with a die grinder or rotary drill, expanding its utility in tight or contoured areas where flat-platen sanding is not practical. Metalworkers, fabricators, and finishing technicians are the primary installers and users of this abrasive product.
