3M 7010512881 Spiral Band 40 Grit 1x2 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7010512881 is a coated abrasive spiral band designed for use with spindle sanders and drum sanding applications in metalworking, woodworking, and finishing trades. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive on a heavy-duty X-weight cloth backing, this band delivers consistent material removal at 40 grit coarse grade. The 1-inch diameter by 2-inch wide format fits standard spindle sander mandrels and is suited for aggressive stock removal, deburring, and shape finishing on curved or contoured workpieces. Each unit is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

This spiral band is commonly used in fabrication shops, woodworking facilities, and metalworking operations where contoured or inside-radius surfaces require consistent abrasive contact. The coarse 40 grit rating makes it appropriate for rapid material removal rather than fine finishing passes. It is typically installed and used by machinists, fabricators, woodworkers, and finishing technicians working with spindle or drum sanding equipment.

Installation Notes

Spiral bands are installed by trade workers and shop technicians onto compatible spindle sander mandrels or expandable rubber drums. Power down and unplug the sanding equipment before installing or removing the band. Ensure the mandrel diameter matches the band interior diameter before seating to prevent slippage during operation. Do not exceed the rated speed of the sanding equipment when using abrasive spiral bands.
