3M 7010518706 Spiral Band 80 Grit Aluminum Oxide 1x2 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010518706 is an aluminum oxide spiral band designed for use with rotary drum sanders and similar abrasive tooling. This coated abrasive band measures 1 inch in diameter by 2 inches wide and cuts at 80 grit, placing it in the medium grade range. The cloth backing is rated X-weight, providing the stiffness needed to hold shape under moderate-to-heavy material removal. Aluminum oxide is a durable, self-sharpening abrasive grain well suited for sanding wood, composites, and light metals. Machinists, woodworkers, and fabricators reach for this format when working inside bores, contoured surfaces, and tight profiles that flat sheets cannot reach.

This spiral band fits standard 1-inch diameter sanding drum mandrels and is used across woodworking shops, metal fabrication facilities, and maintenance environments. Common applications include deburring, smoothing, and shaping on both flat and curved interior surfaces. The 2-inch working width provides good contact area for efficient stock removal in a single pass on matching drum setups. It is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 units per order.

Installation Notes

Spiral bands are installed and removed by a qualified operator following the tool manufacturer's mandrel loading instructions. Always power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before changing abrasive bands. Inspect the mandrel for wear or damage before seating a new band, and confirm the band is fully seated before resuming operation. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves.
