3M 7100138195 Cloth Band 341D 1/2 X 1/2 Inch 36 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100138195 is an aluminum oxide cloth band designed for general-purpose grinding and finishing on metal and wood surfaces. Built on a durable X-weight cloth backing, this band delivers the rigidity and tear resistance needed for demanding material removal tasks. Resin bonding provides heat resistance, helping the abrasive maintain performance under sustained friction. At 36 grit, this is a coarse-cut band suited for aggressive stock removal rather than fine finishing. Each band measures 1/2 inch wide by 1/2 inch in length. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for shop or production supply purchasing.

This band is used in metalworking and woodworking applications where a tough, heat-resistant abrasive is required. The closed-coat aluminum oxide construction performs well on harder woods and ferrous metals where consistent cut rate and durability matter. Typical applications include deburring, surface prep, and contour grinding using bench-mounted or portable band tools. The X-weight backing holds up under moderate-to-high pressure, making this band a practical choice for production environments and trade shops alike.

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style abrasive band for bench-mounted and handheld band grinding tools that accept 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch abrasive bands.

Installation Notes

Installation of abrasive bands should be performed by trained personnel following the tool manufacturer's guarding and RPM rating requirements. Always power down and disconnect the grinding tool before mounting or removing a band. Inspect the band for tears or delamination before use and do not exceed the rated operating speed of the host tool. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required when operating abrasive tools.
