3M 7010361728 Abrasive Belt P180 Grit 60x2.5 Inch Ao Cloth

Product Description

The 3M 7010361728 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 locks the abrasive grain firmly to the backing, maintaining cut rate throughout the belt's service life. At 60 inches long and 2.5 inches wide with a P180 grit rating, it delivers a consistent finish suited for final deburring passes and surface conditioning on metal and wood substrates. Licensed tradespeople and production shop technicians are the primary installers and users of this belt.

This belt is engineered for wide belt sanders, edge sanders, and portable belt sanding equipment. Its tube-shaped construction also allows it to fit onto a rubber expander wheel attachment used with a die grinder or rotary drill, making it a versatile choice for reaching inner and outer contours, removing parting lines, and cleaning up weld seams or casting imperfections on metal parts. It is also applicable to wood surface preparation where a medium-fine grit is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Always power down and disconnect the sanding or grinding tool before mounting or removing an abrasive belt.
