3M 7100188474 Rapid Removal Sanding Belt 80 Grit 24x3 in

Product Description

The 3M 7100188474 is a Rapid Removal Power Sanding Belt designed for fast, aggressive stock removal across wood, plastic, and metal surfaces. Built with Precision-Shaped Grain technology, this belt cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional abrasive belts. At 80 grit, it falls in the coarse range, making it well suited for material removal, leveling, and surface prep work. The grain resists heat buildup and moisture, which extends belt life during continuous power sanding operations. Each package contains one belt measuring 3 inches wide by 24 inches long.

This belt is designed for use with stationary or portable belt sanders in shop and job-site environments. The coarse 80 grit makes it effective for initial sanding passes on raw wood, deburring metal, or scuffing plastic prior to finishing. It can also be used across multiple stages of a sanding project, including coating removal and surface leveling. Woodworkers, fabricators, and finishing contractors working on both light-duty and production-level tasks will find this belt a reliable choice for high-removal applications.
