3M 7010508265 Spiral Band 180 Grit Aluminum Oxide 3x3in

Product Description

The 3M 7010508265 is a coated abrasive spiral band designed for use with spindle sanders and similar rotary finishing equipment. It features an aluminum oxide abrasive at 180 grit, placing it in the very fine grade range — well suited for final-stage stock removal, surface smoothing, and light deburring on wood, metal, and composite materials. The band measures 3 inches in diameter by 3 inches wide and is built on a cloth backing with an X-weight rating, providing durability and resistance to tearing under sustained use. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

This spiral band is used in woodworking shops, metal fabrication, and general manufacturing environments where consistent finish quality is required on contoured or flat surfaces. The 180-grit aluminum oxide construction is appropriate for operators transitioning from coarser grits toward final finish passes. It fits spindle sander machines that accept 3-inch diameter by 3-inch wide sleeves and is commonly used by cabinet makers, millwork shops, and metal finishing technicians.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sliding the spiral band onto a matching rubber drum spindle before securing the drum on the sander arbor. Ensure the sander is fully powered down and unplugged before changing bands. Inspect the drum for wear or damage prior to fitting a new band, as an uneven drum surface will reduce abrasive performance and shorten band life. Use appropriate eye and respiratory protection when operating abrasive equipment.
