3M 7100025516 Abrasive Cloth Belt 60 Grit 24x3 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100025516 is an aluminum oxide coated abrasive cloth belt designed for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking applications. Built on an X-weight cloth backing, it handles heavy sanding and grinding loads without breaking down under high heat or pressure. The resin bond system locks the 60-grit aluminum oxide mineral firmly in place for fast, consistent cutting across metal and wood substrates. Licensed tradespeople and shop technicians reach for this belt when they need reliable material removal on both flat and contoured surfaces.

This belt is suited for wide belt sanders, edge sanders, and portable belt sanding equipment. Its tube-shaped band profile fits inner and outer contours, making it effective for removing parting lines, weld seams, imperfections, and burrs from metal parts. The band also mounts onto a rubber expander wheel attachment used with a die grinder or rotary drill, expanding its range to tight or irregular workpiece geometries. It is appropriate for light-to-heavy-duty production and maintenance environments.
