Tru-maxx 7318 Abrasive Belt 150 Grit 6x48 Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The TRU-MAXX 7318 is a 6 x 48 inch coated abrasive belt designed for dry belt sanding applications in metalworking, woodworking, and fabrication environments. It uses aluminum oxide abrasive at 150 grit, placing it in the very fine grade range suitable for finishing passes, light stock removal, and surface prep before coating or inspection. The belt features a closed-coat construction on a polyester cloth backing rated X-weight, delivering consistent scratch patterns and durability under sustained use on stationary or handheld belt sanders.

This belt is used in shops and field environments where a controlled, fine finish is required. Typical applications include smoothing weld seams, refining cast or machined metal surfaces, finish-sanding hardwood or composite materials, and preparing surfaces for paint or powder coat. The dry-only construction means it is not rated for wet sanding setups. Machinists, fabricators, millwrights, and finishing carpenters routinely reach for a 150-grit aluminum oxide belt at this size for final-stage surface work on 6 x 48 belt sander machines.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed with the sander unplugged or locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Check the directional arrow printed on the inside of the belt seam and install so the belt runs in the correct direction to avoid seam separation. Inspect the platen and contact wheel for wear before mounting a fresh belt.
