3M 7100141432 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 12x1 Inch Ao Cloth

Product Description

The 3M 7100141432 is a general-purpose aluminum oxide cloth-backed abrasive belt designed for metal deburring, general metalworking, and woodworking applications. Measuring 12 inches in length and 1 inch in width, this 80-grit belt uses aluminum oxide mineral on an XF-weight polyester cloth backing bonded with a resin system that holds up under high heat and pressure. It is rated for both wet and dry use, making it a reliable choice across a wide range of shop conditions. Licensed trade professionals and skilled fabricators use this belt where consistent, repeatable cut and finish are required.

This belt is optimized for mild steel and carbon steel stock removal and deburring. It also performs well on softer metals including aluminum, bronze, and brass, as well as on wood substrates. Suitable equipment includes backstand and benchtop belt sanders, stroke sanders, portable belt grinders, and wide belt grinding and finishing machines. Its construction supports the demands of both intermittent shop use and sustained production-floor cycles.
