3M 7100137356 Aluminum Oxide Cloth Band 80 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100137356 is an aluminum oxide abrasive cloth band built on a durable X-weight cloth backing with a closed-coat construction and resin bond. The resin bond provides heat resistance during extended grinding and finishing operations, making this band well suited for both metalworking and woodworking applications. Measuring 0.5 inches wide by 1 inch long, this band delivers consistent stock removal at 80 grit, an aggressive cut that handles surface preparation, deburring, and shaping on a range of materials including harder wood species and ferrous metals.

This cloth band is a general-purpose abrasive designed for use in small-diameter pneumatic or electric drum sanders and rotary tools. It performs reliably on metal fabrication tasks such as weld blending and edge cleanup, as well as woodworking tasks including contour sanding and smoothing on hardwoods. The X-weight backing resists tearing under load, making it appropriate for production environments where belts are cycled frequently.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sliding the band onto a compatible rubber or foam drum mandrel sized to match the band dimensions. Ensure the mandrel is fully secured in the tool chuck before operation. Power down the tool completely before changing bands. Inspect the band for tears or glaze before each use and replace when cut rate drops noticeably.
