3M 7100137355 Aluminum Oxide Cloth Band 80 Grit 1x0.5in

Product Description

The 3M 7100137355 is a closed-coat aluminum oxide cloth band built on an X-weight cloth backing for durability under load. Resin bonded construction provides heat resistance during extended use. At 80 grit, this band delivers aggressive stock removal suited to metalworking and general woodworking, including harder wood species. The compact 1 inch by 0.5 inch size fits small drum sanders and portable band sanding tools. Licensed trade workers and shop professionals use this band where consistent cut rate and backing integrity are required across repeated passes.

This cloth band is intended for use in both metalworking and woodworking applications. It performs particularly well on harder woods that would prematurely wear softer-backed abrasives. The closed-coat aluminum oxide mineral covers the full face of the band, maximizing cutting contact per pass. Typical applications include deburring metal edges, shaping wood stock, and surface preparation work in fabrication and millwork environments. Units are sold individually.

Installation Notes

Installation of abrasive bands should be performed with the tool unplugged or power isolated at the switch. Confirm the band is seated fully and evenly on the drum before resuming operation. Inspect the band for tears or separation before each use, as damaged abrasive bands can fail under load. Follow the tool manufacturer guidelines for maximum RPM ratings compatible with the band size.
