3M 7100138149 Cloth Band 341D 1.5x1.5 in 36 Grit X-weight

Product Description

The 3M 7100138149 is an aluminum oxide abrasive cloth band designed for general-purpose grinding and finishing in metalworking and woodworking applications. Built on an X-weight cloth backing, it offers durability and resistance to tearing under moderate to heavy load. The closed-coat construction maximizes abrasive coverage across the belt surface, delivering consistent stock removal. Resin bonding provides heat resistance, extending usable life during sustained contact with workpiece materials. The 36-grit designation places this band in the coarse range, making it suited for aggressive material removal rather than fine finishing work. Licensed tradespeople and production shop operators are the primary installers and users.

This cloth band is intended for use in metalworking and woodworking environments, particularly where harder wood species or metal stock require aggressive cutting action. At 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches, it fits compact band filing tools and small-diameter contact wheel setups. It performs well on ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as hardwoods where surface prep or weld seam blending is required. Its coarse grit and closed-coat construction make it a practical choice for initial stock removal before progressing to finer abrasive stages.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive for consistent cutting on metal and hardwood surfaces
• Closed-coat construction for maximum abrasive density and surface coverage
• X-weight cloth backing provides durability and resistance to tearing under load
• Resin bonded for improved heat resistance during extended use
• 36 grit for aggressive, coarse stock removal
• Compact 1.5-inch by 1.5-inch size fits small band filing and contact wheel tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard consumable for small abrasive band filing tools and contact wheel machines accepting 1.5-inch by 1.5-inch cloth bands.

Installation Notes

Installation of abrasive bands should be performed by operators familiar with the host tool's tracking and tensioning system. Power down and disconnect the tool from its power source before mounting or removing any abrasive band. Verify band size matches the tool's specified contact wheel or platen dimensions before use. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and gloves, when handling coarse abrasives and operating grinding equipment.
