3M 7100096333 Surface Conditioning Belt 15.5x3.5 in Non-woven

Product Description

The 3M 7100096333 is a non-woven surface conditioning belt designed for cleaning, blending, deburring, and finishing operations on metal workpieces. Built on a reinforced backing with an open-web non-woven construction, this belt uses aluminum oxide abrasive to cut aggressively without gouging the base material. The open web structure reduces loading and heat buildup, allowing extended run times and consistent results across a range of metal surfaces. At 0.29 pounds, it is lightweight for its size and well-suited to sustained use on backstand or offhand equipment in shop environments.

This belt is intended for metal fabrication, maintenance, and finishing applications in industrial and trade shop settings. It performs well on tasks such as removing grind lines, mill marks, and surface imperfections, as well as blending welds and conditioning surfaces before coating or further finishing. The flexible non-woven construction allows it to conform to contours, edges, and detail areas that rigid abrasives cannot reach easily. Metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working on ferrous and non-ferrous metals are the primary users of this belt type.
