3M 7100188482 Rapid Removal Sanding Belt 60 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100188482 is a Rapid Removal Power Sanding Belt designed for fast, aggressive material removal across wood, plastic, and metal surfaces. Built with Precision-Shaped Grain technology, the belt uses a structured aluminum oxide abrasive that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional abrasive belts. At 4 inches wide and 24 inches long, this is a 60-grit coarse belt suited for aggressive stock removal and surface leveling. The grain geometry resists heat buildup and moisture, helping maintain cut rate throughout the belt's service life. It ships as a single belt per package and weighs 2.501 pounds packaged.

This belt is built for power belt sanders used in woodworking shops, fabrication environments, and general finishing operations. The 60-grit coarse classification makes it appropriate for initial material removal, leveling uneven surfaces, and removing old coatings or finishes. It performs across all stages of sanding, from rough shaping through prep for finer grits. Wood, plastic, and metal are all supported substrates, making it a versatile option for shops working across mixed materials.

Installation Notes

Install and replace sanding belts only when the sander is powered off and unplugged. Verify belt tracking alignment before resuming operation to prevent edge wear and premature belt failure.
