Tru-maxx 7171 Abrasive Belt 320 Grit 2x72 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The TRU-MAXX 7171 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry grinding, blending, and finishing applications on belt sanders and similar power abrasive equipment. Measuring 2 inches wide by 72 inches long, this belt runs on standard 2 x 72 belt sander configurations commonly found in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and metalworking environments. The abrasive material is aluminum oxide at 320 grit, placing it in the extra fine grade range — well suited for final-pass finishing, light deburring, and surface prep work where a consistent, refined scratch pattern is required. The closed-coat density ensures maximum abrasive coverage across the full belt surface for efficient material removal per pass.

This belt is intended for dry operation only. It is a practical choice for metal fabrication technicians, maintenance machinists, pipefitters, and general shop professionals who need a reliable finishing belt for stainless, mild steel, aluminum, and similar materials. The 2 x 72 inch format is one of the most widely used sizes in professional belt grinder setups, making this a direct drop-in for most benchtop and freestanding belt grinders using that configuration. Minimum order quantity is 10 belts, sold individually per package.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the equipment manufacturer's belt tracking and tensioning procedures.

Verify belt direction of travel matches any directional arrow printed on the inner surface of the belt prior to operation.
