3M 7010326186 Abrasive Belt 36 Grit 48x2 Inch Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7010326186 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 demands without breaking down under high heat or pressure. The resin bond system locks the abrasive mineral firmly in place, supporting consistent cut rate across the belt's 48-inch length and 2-inch width. At 36 grit, it delivers aggressive stock removal suited to rough shaping and surface conditioning on metal and wood substrates. Licensed HVAC techs, machinists, and metal fabricators reach for this belt when prepping surfaces or removing imperfections at the bench or on portable equipment.

This belt is engineered for wide belt sanders, edge sanders, and portable belt sanding machines. Its tube-shaped band profile fits inner and outer contours, making it effective for removing parting lines, burrs, and surface irregularities on metal parts. It is also compatible with a rubber expander wheel attachment used with a die grinder or rotary drill for detailed or hard-to-reach areas. Suitable for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metal substrates as well as wood, it covers a broad range of production and maintenance sanding tasks in shop and field environments.
