3M Company BELT3X181PK60 Abrasive Sanding Belt 60 Grit

Product Description

The 3M COMPANY BELT3X181PK60 is a 3 x 18 inch, 60-grit abrasive sanding belt built for rapid material removal on portable power sanders. It 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 bi-directionally, extending service life and reducing the need for frequent belt changes. This belt is suited for tradespeople and skilled DIYers who need consistent, aggressive stock removal on wood, metal, or composite surfaces.

This sanding belt is intended for use with portable belt sanding tools in residential construction, remodeling, woodworking shops, and light fabrication environments. The 60-grit designation makes it appropriate for initial surface preparation, paint or finish stripping, and leveling rough substrates before progressing to finer grits. It is sold in a pack of 10 belts, making it practical for job-site use where multiple belts are consumed in a single session.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by woodworkers, general contractors, and finishing tradespeople. Before mounting the belt, disconnect or power down the sander per the tool manufacturer's instructions.
