3M Sanding Belt, 18" Length 3/4" Width, Zirconia Alumina, 60 Grit

3M™ Cloth Belt features alumina zirconia abrasive grain for increased cutting efficiency over aluminum oxide belts, and is backed with a heavy, water-resistant polyester backing that stands up to high-pressure applications and edge work. Alumina zirconia fractures frequently to continually produce sharp points and deliver a faster cut-rate than aluminum oxide. A synthetic mineral, it was developed for heavy stock removal and high pressure grinding. The durable backing supports both wet and dry operations. To protect heat sensitive alloys such as stainless steel, nickel alloys, and cobalt alloys, a grinding aid on the belt reduces running temperatures.
