  • TypeSanders

Surface-conditioning belt for sanders

The 3M 05016 is a brown non-woven abrasive belt designed for surface conditioning on compatible sanding equipment. It uses aluminum oxide abrasive material with a coarse grade and a semi-flexible scrim backing bonded by resin. This new belt suits metal-finishing tasks where loading resistance is required.

3-1/2 in by 15-1/2 in dimensions

The belt measures 3 1/2 inches in overall width and 15 1/2 inches in overall length, which determines fit on the sander. Selecting the correct width and length is the single specification that decides whether this is the right part for the machine. Verify both figures against the tool manufacturer's requirements before purchase.

Resin-bonded scrim backing resists loading

The semi-flexible scrim backing with resin bond reduces clogging during extended use on metals and coatings. This construction maintains cutting action longer than conventional coated abrasives on similar jobs. No additional accessories or software are included with the belt.

Questions about this item

What does the coarse grade mean for material removal on a running sander?

The coarse grade removes surface defects and coatings quickly without gouging the workpiece, making it suited for aggressive cleaning and blending on metal or wood.

How does the non-woven construction affect belt life and finish consistency?

The non-woven web resists loading and maintains a uniform scratch pattern as it wears, so the finish stays consistent longer than coated-paper belts.

Will the 3 1/2 in by 15 1/2 in size fit my portable belt sander?

It fits any sander that accepts a 3 1/2 in wide by 15 1/2 in long belt; check your machine’s spec sheet for that exact belt size.
