3M 7100128763 Abrasive Belt 18x1/2 in 36 Grit Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7100128763 is a general-purpose aluminum oxide abrasive belt designed for metalworking and woodworking applications. Measuring 18 inches in length and 1/2 inch in width, this 36-grit belt is built on an XF-weight polyester cloth backing that handles both wet and dry conditions. The resin bond system resists high heat and pressure, making it well-suited for aggressive material removal tasks such as deburring, grinding, and heavy sanding. It is used by metal fabricators, machinists, and finishing tradespeople working with a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This belt is optimized for use on mild steel and carbon steel. It also performs effectively on softer metals including aluminum, bronze, and brass, as well as some woodworking substrates. Compatible with backstand and benchtop belt sanders, it also suits stroke sanding, portable belt grinding, and wide belt grinding and finishing operations. The maroon cloth construction and XF-weight backing provide the rigidity needed for sustained contact-wheel and platen grinding work.
