Tru-maxx 7436 Abrasive Belt 180 Grit 9x48 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The TRU-MAXX 7436 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry surface finishing and stock removal on stationary belt sanders and grinder setups. It measures 9 inches wide by 48 inches long and runs at 180 grit, placing it in the very fine grade range — suited for finish sanding, light deburring, and surface prep before coating or painting. The belt uses aluminum oxide abrasive over a closed-coat configuration on a polyester cloth backing rated at X-weight, which provides the stiffness needed for consistent pressure across the contact wheel or platen.

This belt is intended for dry operation on industrial and shop-grade belt sanding machines that accept a 9 x 48 inch belt. Common applications include metal fabrication shops, woodworking operations, and general maintenance environments where surface finishing is performed on a production or bench-level basis. The 180 grit level is a standard finishing step following coarser stock removal passes. It is used by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians across both residential shop and light commercial environments.

Key Features

• 180 grit very fine grade for finish sanding and surface prep work
• Aluminum oxide abrasive material offers consistent cut and long service life on metal and wood
• Closed-coat abrasive configuration maximizes abrasive density across the belt surface
• X-weight polyester cloth backing provides rigidity and resistance to tearing under load
• Dry operation only — not rated for wet or coolant-assisted grinding
• Sold individually — no minimum bundle required

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement belt for stationary belt sanders and abrasive finishing machines that accept a 9 x 48 inch belt configuration.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed with the sanding machine fully powered off and unplugged. Verify belt tracking alignment before resuming operation and confirm the arrow or direction marking on the belt interior matches the machine's drive direction. Inspect the platen and contact wheel for wear before mounting a new belt. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and a dust mask rated for fine abrasive particles during installation and use.
