3M 7100138163 Cloth Band 747D 60 Grit 0.5x1 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7100138163 is a ceramic grain abrasive cloth band built on an X-weight cloth backing for demanding grinding and finishing applications. Resin bonded construction provides heat resistance during extended use. A built-in grinding aid keeps the cutting zone cooler, which helps extend band life and reduces heat-related workpiece damage. This band measures 0.5 inches wide by 1 inch long and runs at 60 grit, placing it in the coarse range for aggressive stock removal. It is sold individually and requires a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it suited for shop and production environments.

This abrasive band is designed for use in small-diameter, tight-radius grinding tasks common in metal fabrication, maintenance shops, and manufacturing facilities. The ceramic grain formulation is appropriate for hard metals and high-alloy steels where conventional aluminum oxide grains wear quickly. Typical applications include deburring, weld blending, and surface conditioning on cylindrical or contoured workpieces using a pneumatic or electric band file or abrasive band tool.

Key Features

• Ceramic grain construction for aggressive cutting on hard metals and alloy steels
• X-weight cloth backing provides durability and flexibility under load
• Resin bond system resists heat buildup during continuous grinding
• Integrated grinding aid promotes cooler cutting and longer band life
• 60 grit coarse cut rating for efficient stock removal
• Compact 0.5 inches x 1 inches size fits standard abrasive band files and rotary tools

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit abrasive band for pneumatic and electric band file tools accepting 0.5 inches x 1 inches abrasive bands.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians and fabricators using standard abrasive band tools. Ensure the tool is powered off and depressurized before changing bands. Confirm the band is seated fully on the tool mandrel before resuming operation. Follow applicable shop safety protocols including eye protection and hearing protection during abrasive grinding operations.
