3M 7100232217 Abrasive Paper Roll 80 Grit 24 in X 50 Yd

Product Description

The 3M 7100232217 is an aluminum oxide abrasive paper roll designed for sanding and finishing applications in woodworking and metalworking. It is built on an F-weight paper backing, one of the heaviest and most rigid paper backings available, which provides durability and smooth operation across a range of material removal tasks. The open-coat construction resists loading, keeping the abrasive surface clear during use. At 80 grit, this roll delivers aggressive stock removal while still achieving finer finishes than cloth-backed sheets of the same grade. Measuring 24 inches wide and 50 yards long, it offers generous material for high-volume shop environments.

This abrasive paper roll is suited for industrial and professional finishing operations involving wood, metal, and ferrous alloys. The roll format makes it easy to cut custom lengths for sanding blocks, drum sanders, and wide-belt applications. It performs well on soft woods, hardwoods, and metal substrates. The 3M dust management treatment reduces static cling in dust particles, supporting efficient dust collection when paired with a vacuum or dust collection system. It is a practical choice for cabinet shops, metal fabrication shops, and production finishing lines.

Installation Notes

Cut to length using a straightedge and utility knife or dedicated roll cutter. Ensure the sanding equipment is powered off and unplugged before loading or replacing abrasive rolls.
