3M 7010518713 Spiral Band 180 Grit 1x1 Inch Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7010518713 is a coated abrasive spiral band designed for deburring, blending, and finishing operations on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. It uses an aluminum oxide abrasive grain bonded to a cloth backing with an X-weight designation, which provides durability and flexibility under moderate to heavy use. The band measures 1 inch in diameter by 1 inch wide and carries a 180 grit rating, placing it in the very fine grade range. This combination makes it well suited for light material removal, surface blending, and pre-finish smoothing. Maintenance technicians and fabricators typically install these bands on pneumatic or electric spiral band sanding mandrels.

This spiral band is used in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance environments where consistent scratch patterns and controlled surface finishing are required. Common applications include deburring drilled or punched holes, cleaning up weld seams, and blending surface imperfections on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 1 inch by 1 inch geometry fits standard mandrel sizes used in portable and bench-mounted tools. It is a single-unit package sold in minimum order quantities of 100, making it appropriate for shops and service operations that consume abrasives at volume.

Key Features

• 180 grit aluminum oxide abrasive for very fine material removal and surface blending
• X-weight cloth backing provides flexibility and resistance to tearing during aggressive passes
• 1 inch diameter by 1 inch wide format fits standard spiral band mandrels
• Coated abrasive construction delivers consistent cut rate and scratch pattern throughout the band life
• Suitable for use on metal, wood, and composite materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement spiral band for use with standard 1 inch diameter spiral band mandrels on pneumatic or electric rotary tools commonly used in metalworking and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Spiral bands are installed by a fabricator or maintenance technician onto a compatible spiral band mandrel by threading the band onto the expanding mandrel until it seats securely. Ensure the tool is fully powered down and disconnected from the air supply or electrical source before changing bands. Do not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the mandrel or the abrasive band. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when operating rotary abrasive tools.
