3M 7010512865 Spiral Band 60 Grit 0.5x2 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7010512865 is a coated abrasive spiral band designed for use with expandable rubber drum sanders and rotary tools. It features aluminum oxide abrasive grain on a cloth backing with an X-weight backing designation, which provides durability under aggressive sanding loads. At 60 grit, this band falls in the medium grade range, making it well suited for stock removal, surface shaping, and blending on wood, metal, and composites. Licensed trade professionals and fabricators use this type of spiral band in production grinding, deburring, and contour sanding applications where consistent abrasive performance is required.

This spiral band measures 0.5 inches in diameter and 2 inches wide, fitting standard expandable drum mandrels of the same diameter. It is used in woodworking shops, metal fabrication facilities, and general manufacturing environments. The coated cloth construction allows the band to flex around curved surfaces and contours without tearing. Applications include edge blending, ID sanding of bored holes, and surface prep prior to finishing or coating. This SKU ships as a single band with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Installation Notes

Spiral bands are installed by a technician or machinist onto an expandable rubber drum mandrel that is mounted in a rotary tool or drill press. Power off and disconnect the tool before mounting or removing the band. Ensure the mandrel is expanded firmly inside the band before operation to prevent slippage during use. Do not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the mandrel or tool being used.
