3M 7010518714 Spiral Band 80 Grit Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7010518714 is a coated abrasive spiral band designed for use with spindle sanders and drum sanding applications in metalworking, woodworking, and fabrication environments. Built with aluminum oxide abrasive grain bonded to a heavy-duty X-weight cloth backing, this spiral band delivers consistent stock removal at 80 grit, a medium grade suited for surface blending, deburring, and contour sanding. The cloth backing resists tearing under load and conforms to curved or irregular workpiece profiles. This band measures 0.5 inches in diameter by 2 inches wide. It is installed by trade professionals including machinists, fabricators, millwrights, and skilled woodworkers requiring reliable abrasive performance on handheld or bench-mounted spindle equipment.

This spiral band is commonly used in metal fabrication shops, woodworking facilities, and maintenance operations where contour sanding, bore finishing, or edge blending on irregular surfaces is required. The 80 grit medium grade removes material efficiently while leaving a finish suitable for follow-up with finer grits. The 0.5 inch diameter and 2 inch width make it appropriate for small-diameter spindle mandrels used in both portable and stationary applications. It is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or woodworking professionals using standard spindle sander equipment. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and at a complete stop before mounting or removing the band. Verify that the mandrel diameter matches the band diameter before seating the spiral band to prevent slippage during operation. Follow all applicable machine guarding and personal protective equipment requirements per OSHA general industry standards.
