3M 7100138156 Cloth Abrasive Band 80 Grit 3x3 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7100138156 is a closed-coat aluminum oxide cloth abrasive band built on an X-weight cloth backing. Resin bonded construction provides heat resistance during extended grinding and finishing runs. The 80-grit cut rating makes this band well-suited for aggressive stock removal on metal and wood surfaces. At 3 inches wide by 3 inches in length, it fits standard drum and contact-roll configurations used in metalworking and woodworking finishing operations. Licensed trades and production shop personnel commonly select this band for its consistent cut and backing durability under load.

This abrasive band is designed for general-purpose metalworking and woodworking applications. It performs particularly well on harder woods where a durable, heat-resistant backing is required to maintain cut rate across longer work cycles. The closed-coat aluminum oxide mineral covers the full backing face, delivering consistent scratch patterns on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and dense hardwoods. Typical install environments include production grinding stations, drum sander setups, and bench-mounted abrasive systems.

Installation Notes

Abrasive bands of this type are installed by machine operators and shop technicians following equipment manufacturer guidelines. Power down and lock out the machine before changing bands.
