KK711X-80 - VSM KK711X 6x320 Inch 80 Grit Aluminum Oxide Sanding Belt 10-Pack

Industrial Grade Universal Sanding Belts

The VSM KK711X Sanding Belt is a versatile and robust abrasive solution designed for a wide array of industrial applications. Measuring 6 inches in width and 320 inches in length, this belt is engineered to fit large-scale stationary belt grinding machines and stroke sanders commonly found in fabrication shops, foundries, and woodworking facilities. The KK711X series is renowned for its universal applicability, offering reliable performance on materials ranging from unalloyed steel and non-ferrous metals to wood and plastics.

At the core of this belt is high-quality Aluminum Oxide grain. Aluminum Oxide is the industry standard for general-purpose grinding due to its toughness and ability to self-sharpen to a degree as it fractures. With an 80 grit rating, this specific belt is positioned for intermediate sanding tasks. It is aggressive enough to remove light stock, rust, or mill scale, yet fine enough to prepare surfaces for subsequent finishing steps. The grain is electrostatically open-coated in some variations or close-coated depending on the specific batch optimization, but KK711X generally provides a dense distribution for consistent material removal rates.

The structural integrity of the belt is maintained by a sturdy X-weight cotton cloth backing. This heavy-duty textile base provides the necessary tensile strength to withstand the mechanical stresses of continuous operation on large pulleys without stretching excessively or tearing. The abrasive grains are secured to this backing using a full synthetic resin bond, which offers superior resistance to heat and moisture compared to natural glues, ensuring the grains remain fixed even under thermal load. This combination of materials makes the VSM KK711X an excellent cost-to-performance choice for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) environments requiring dependable, daily-use abrasives.
