Tru-maxx 7206 Abrasive Belt 180 Grit 3x18 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The TRU-MAXX 7206 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry material removal and surface finishing on belt sanding equipment. Running 3 inches wide by 18 inches long, it fits standard benchtop and portable belt sanders used in metalworking, woodworking, and general fabrication shops. The 180-grit aluminum oxide abrasive is rated Very Fine grade, making it well suited for light stock removal, surface blending, and finish preparation. A closed-coat density maximizes abrasive coverage across the belt face for consistent scratch patterns and smooth finishes on each pass.

This belt is intended for dry operation only. It is commonly used in machine shops, fabrication facilities, maintenance departments, and trade workshops where controlled surface finishing is required. The polyester cloth backing with X-weight designation provides rigidity and flex resistance under sustained tension on belt sander platens, making it a practical choice for repetitive production sanding cycles as well as one-off fitting and finishing tasks.

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement abrasive belt for belt sanders accepting a 3-inch by 18-inch belt. Confirm platen and tracking dimensions on your specific sander before installation.

Installation Notes

Power down and unplug the belt sander completely before changing belts. Confirm belt tracking direction — most abrasive belts are directional and include an arrow on the backing indicating correct travel direction. Seat the belt evenly on the drive and idler rollers, then adjust the tracking knob before resuming operation. Inspect the platen and rollers for wear or debris that could cause premature belt failure.
