3M BELT3X181PK80 Sanding Belt 80 Grit 3x18 in 10 Pack

Product Description

The 3M COMPANY BELT3X181PK80 is an 80-grit abrasive sanding belt built for portable power belt sanders used in woodworking, metal finishing, and general surface preparation. Measuring 3 inches by 18 inches and sold in a pack of 10, this belt combines Cubitron abrasive grain with premium aluminum oxide blended minerals on a heavy Y-weight cloth backing. The film splice construction allows the belt to run in either direction, extending usable life and reducing changeover time on the job.

This belt is suited for rapid material removal on flat and contoured surfaces in residential and light commercial applications. Typical uses include stock removal on wood, paint stripping, rust removal on metal, and surface leveling prior to finish sanding. The 80-grit cut is aggressive enough for initial stock removal while leaving a surface ready for follow-up with finer grits. Trade professionals in carpentry, cabinetry, flooring, and general construction will find this belt effective for high-volume sanding tasks where throughput matters.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by any trade professional or experienced user operating a compatible portable belt sander.
