3M 7010518708 Spiral Band 80 Grit Aluminum Oxide 3/4x2 in

Product Description

The 3M 7010518708 is a coated abrasive spiral band designed for deburring, blending, and surface finishing on metal, wood, and composite materials. Built on a heavy X-weight cloth backing, it delivers consistent material removal at 80 grit, placing it in the medium grade range. The aluminum oxide abrasive mineral is well-suited to ferrous metals and general-purpose grinding applications. At 3/4 inches in diameter and 2 inches wide, this spiral band fits standard mandrel-mounted rotary tools and pneumatic drum sanders used in production and maintenance environments. Metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers and users.

This spiral band is used in both shop and field settings where bore finishing, port blending, and contour sanding are required. The 3/4 inch diameter makes it appropriate for work inside tubing, pipe ends, castings, and drilled holes. The cloth backing with X weight provides durability under moderate to heavy contact pressure, reducing premature breakdown during extended use cycles. It is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for production shops and maintenance supply programs.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive for consistent cut on ferrous metals and general materials
• 80 grit medium grade removes material efficiently while leaving a workable surface finish
• Heavy X-weight cloth backing resists tearing and conforms to curved surfaces
• 3/4 inch diameter fits standard spiral band mandrels for rotary and pneumatic tools
• 2 inch width provides extended contact length for bore and contour work

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard spiral band mandrels accepting 3/4 inch diameter abrasive bands, commonly used in pneumatic and electric rotary die grinders and drum sander setups.

Installation Notes

Spiral bands are installed by a metalworker, fabricator, or maintenance technician onto a compatible expanding mandrel mounted in a rotary tool or die grinder. Ensure the tool is powered off and air supply is disconnected before changing bands. Do not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the mandrel or tool. Inspect the band for tears or separation before each use and replace if backing integrity is compromised.
