3M 7100119296 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 18x0.5 Inch Ao Cloth

Product Description

The 3M 7100119296 is a general-purpose aluminum oxide cloth-backed abrasive belt designed for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking applications. Measuring 18 inches in length and 0.5 inches in width with an 80 grit rating, this belt is optimized for use on mild steel and carbon steel. It is also effective on softer metals including aluminum, bronze, and brass. The XF-weight polyester cloth backing is waterproof and built to withstand grinding and heavy sanding under both wet and dry conditions. A resin bond system holds the abrasive mineral through high heat and pressure, maintaining consistent cut throughout the belt life. Licensed tradespeople and shop technicians reach for this belt for demanding material removal tasks.

This belt is suited for residential shop and commercial metalworking environments. Typical applications include backstand sanding, benchtop belt sanding, stroke sanding, portable belt grinding, and wide belt grinding and finishing. It performs reliably across a broad range of substrates, making it a practical choice for mixed-material shops handling both metal and wood stock. The 80 grit designation places it in the aggressive stock-removal range, appropriate for deburring edges and smoothing rough surfaces before finer finishing passes.
