3M 7100141302 Abrasive Belt 24x1/4 in 180 Grit Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7100141302 is an aluminum oxide cloth-backed abrasive belt designed for general-purpose metalworking, metal deburring, and woodworking applications. Constructed with an XF-weight polyester cloth backing and a resin bond system, this belt handles both wet and dry conditions while withstanding the heat and pressure of aggressive grinding and sanding cycles. At 180 grit, it produces a refined finish suitable for final-stage material removal on a wide range of substrates. The maroon belt measures 24 inches in length and 1/4 inch in width, making it compatible with standard narrow belt configurations used by metalworkers, fabricators, and finishing technicians.

This belt is optimized for use on mild steel and carbon steel, and performs well on softer metals including aluminum, bronze, and brass. It is suited for backstand and benchtop belt sanders, stroke sanding operations, portable belt grinding, and wide belt grinding and finishing. The combination of aluminum oxide mineral and resin bonding provides consistent cut rates and durability across extended use in both shop and field environments.
