3M 7100122886 Ao Cloth Sanding Belt 48x6 Inch 60 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100122886 is an aluminum oxide cloth-backed abrasive belt designed for general-purpose material removal across metal and wood substrates. Built on an XF-weight polyester cloth backing, this belt handles the heat and pressure demands of heavy grinding and sanding without breaking down. At 60 grit, it removes material aggressively while leaving a controlled finish surface. The resin bond system holds the abrasive mineral firmly under sustained load, making it a dependable choice for production and maintenance environments alike. Licensed tradespeople and skilled shop technicians are the primary installers and users of this product.

This belt is suited for use on backstand belt sanders, benchtop belt sanders, stroke sanders, and portable belt grinders. It performs well on mild steel, carbon steel, aluminum, bronze, and brass, covering the most common metalworking and light fabrication tasks. Woodworking applications are also supported. The waterproof polyester backing allows both wet and dry operation, expanding its range across grinding, deburring, and surface finishing workflows. Belt dimensions are 48 inches long by 6 inches wide.
