3M 7100203596 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 132x2 Inch Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7100203596 is an aluminum oxide abrasive cloth belt designed for aggressive stock removal on wood and metal surfaces. Built on a heavyweight cloth backing with an open coat construction, this belt resists loading and maintains cut rate through demanding production runs. The resin bond withstands high heat and pressure, extending abrasive life. At 80 grit, it is well suited for material removal tasks where surface prep speed matters. Licensed tradespeople and production shop operators rely on this belt for consistent, repeatable results across a range of sanding equipment configurations.

This belt is recommended for wide belt sanding machines, edge sanders, and portable belt sanders. It performs on a broad range of substrates including hardwoods, softwoods, and metal. The open coat design is especially effective on resinous or gummy woods such as pine, where loading is a common issue. The washable backing allows repeated use on high-loading substrates, reducing belt changeover frequency in high-production environments. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both shop and field use.
