3M 7000118247 | 02119 11" Width x 9" OAL x D Weight P36 Grit 346U Aluminum Oxide Paper Sheet

Description

The 3M 7000118247 paper sheet is a P36 aluminum oxide-coated abrasive made for aggressive hand-sanding and industrial finishing tasks. Marketed as the 3M paper sheet 346U, this 11" × 9" full-flex sheet balances durability with conformability for contoured surfaces. D-weight paper backing gives the 3M 346U abrasive sheet the strength required for heavy material removal while remaining flexible for detail work. The Open-coat construction reduces loading and helps maintain the cut rate when working on resinous woods, brass, copper and other substrates. This 36 grit aluminum oxide sandpaper sheet is optimized for dry sanding operations where fast cutting and long life are priorities. The aluminum oxide mineral delivers consistent abrasive performance across both woodworking and light metal finishing applications. Full-flex design allows easy hand application and effective follow-through on curved edges, joints and profiles. The P36 grade is appropriate for initial stock removal, edge blending and preparing surfaces for subsequent finer grits. Color-coded finish and robust backing simplify material handling and inventory identification in production shops. Open coat spacing helps evacuate swarf and maintains abrasive exposure for longer usable life under tough conditions. This industrial paper abrasive for woodworking is suitable for cabinet shops, metalwork benches and maintenance departments. Sheets are sized to fit common hand-sanding blocks and pneumatic sanding tools used in field and in-plant finishing. Operators will notice reliable cut performance and predictable wear characteristics that streamline process planning. The 3M 7000118247 sheet is a cost-effective solution when coarse, repeatable material removal is required prior to finishing. For jobs on brass or copper substrates, the sheet’s open-coat and aluminum oxide composition minimize clogging and heat buildup. Specify this 3M paper sheet 346U when you need a robust, open-coat P36 abrasive for heavy-duty manual sanding and prep work. Its combination of D-weight backing and aluminum oxide abrasive ensures dependable life and stable handling in production cycles. Keep the 3M 346U abrasive sheet on hand for rapid removal tasks and as the starting point in multi-step finishing processes.
