3M 7010326179 Abrasive Belt 60x2.5 Inch 40 Grit Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7010326179 is an aluminum oxide coated 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 without breakdown under high heat and pressure. The resin bond system keeps the abrasive mineral firmly adhered during aggressive stock removal. At 40 grit, this belt cuts fast and is well suited for initial material removal and surface conditioning on metal and wood substrates. It is installed and serviced by metalworking technicians, fabricators, and production shop personnel.

This belt is suitable for wide belt sanders, edge sanders, and portable belt sanding equipment. The tube-shaped band design allows it to fit inner and outer contours, making it effective for removing parting lines, surface imperfections, and burrs from machined or cast metal parts. It is also compatible with rubber expander wheel attachments for use with a die grinder or rotary drill, expanding its range of applications in tight or contoured areas on metal and wood workpieces.
