3M 7100185294 Aluminum Oxide Cloth Belt 75x36 in 150 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100185294 is an aluminum oxide cloth-backed abrasive belt engineered for general-purpose grinding, deburring, and finishing in metalworking and woodworking applications. The belt measures 75 inches in length and 36 inches in width, making it suitable for wide belt grinding and finishing operations. An XF-weight polyester cloth backing provides durability under heavy sanding pressure, while a resin bond system resists heat buildup during extended use. At 150 grit, this belt delivers consistent stock removal and surface refinement on a broad range of substrates. Licensed tradespeople and production operators working with metal fabrication equipment will find this belt well-suited to demanding production environments.

This belt is optimized for use on mild steel and carbon steel and performs effectively on softer metals including aluminum, bronze, and brass. Typical applications include metal deburring, general metalworking, and light woodworking. The polyester waterproof backing supports both wet and dry operation. Compatible equipment includes backstand sanders, benchtop belt sanders, stroke sanders, portable belt grinders, and wide belt grinders and finishers. The 150 grit rating positions this belt between aggressive material removal and finish-ready surface preparation.
