3M 7100122771 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 1/2 X 18 in

Product Description

The 3M 7100122771 is a coated abrasive belt designed for portable belt sander applications requiring consistent material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Part of the 384F series, it measures 1/2 inch wide by 18 inches long and carries a 60-grit aluminum oxide abrasive grain at closed coat density. The cloth backing is rated XF weight, providing flexibility and durability through repeated use. This belt is rated for both wet and dry operation, making it suitable for shop environments where coolant or water is used during grinding or finishing work.

The 384F series belt is commonly used by metalworkers, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and production shops running narrow belt sanders for deburring, blending, and stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. At 60 grit, it falls in the medium grade range, appropriate for initial material removal before stepping to finer finishing grits. The 1/2 by 18 inch format fits a range of compact and handheld belt sander tools common in trade and light industrial settings.
