Tru-maxx 7017 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The TRU-MAXX 7017 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry grinding, deburring, and surface finishing on portable belt sanders and benchtop units. At 0.25 inches wide and 18 inches long, this narrow belt fits small-profile machines commonly used for detail work, weld seam cleanup, and tight-radius finishing. The abrasive material is aluminum oxide at 80 grit, a medium grade well suited to moderate stock removal and general-purpose shaping on steel, cast iron, and wood. The closed-coat construction keeps abrasive mineral densely packed across the backing, delivering consistent cut rate across the belt life. The polyester cloth backing rated X-weight provides the flexibility and durability needed for contoured or edge work.

This belt is a standard choice for HVAC technicians, pipefitters, plumbers, and sheet metal workers who need a compact sanding belt for pipe prep, bracket cleanup, and weld finishing. The 0.25-inch width fits narrow-spindle file belt sanders and detail sanders used routinely in tight-access mechanical spaces. Dry-only operation means this belt is intended for use without cutting fluid or water, making it appropriate for quick field tasks as well as controlled shop environments. It is sold individually and suited for low-volume or spot-use applications.
