3M 7100231117 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 37x60 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7100231117 is a coated abrasive belt designed for heavy-duty dry grinding, blending, and surface finishing on metal, wood, and composite materials. Measuring 37 inches wide by 60 inches long, this belt carries an 80-grit aluminum oxide abrasive grain on an X-weight cloth backing with an open coat density. The 80-grit medium grade removes material efficiently while leaving a consistent scratch pattern. It is part of the 3M 340D series and is suited for use on wide-belt sanders and large-format grinding equipment common in fabrication shops, millwork facilities, and industrial maintenance environments.

This belt is intended for dry operation on wide-belt sanding machines used in industrial and commercial settings. The 37 x 60 inch format fits large-footprint machines typically found in metal fabrication, woodworking production lines, and surface prep operations. The open coat construction reduces loading when working softer materials or materials that tend to clog abrasive surfaces. Technicians and machine operators in fabrication, finishing, and maintenance trades are the primary installers and users of this product.

Installation Notes

Installation of wide-format abrasive belts should be performed by qualified machine operators following the equipment manufacturer's belt-change procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the sanding machine before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tension settings after installation and before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or damage prior to each use.
