3M 7100188470 Rapid Removal Sanding Belt 80 Grit 18x3 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7100188470 is a Rapid Removal Power Sanding Belt engineered for aggressive material removal across wood, plastic, and metal surfaces. Built with Precision-Shaped Grain technology, this belt cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional abrasive belts. It measures 18 inches in length by 3 inches in width and carries an 80-grit coarse rating, making it well suited for stock removal, leveling, and surface prep work. The grain construction also resists heat buildup and moisture, two common causes of premature belt wear during extended sanding runs.

This belt is designed for use with standard 3-inch belt sanders in shop, jobsite, and light industrial environments. It handles all stages of the sanding process, including coating removal, surface leveling, and material shaping. The 80-grit coarse designation places it at the aggressive end of the cutting range, making it a go-to choice for initial passes on rough stock or paint and finish stripping on wood and metal workpieces. Each package contains one belt.
