Standard Abrasives Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band is a tensile yet strong abrasive great for light finishing, polishing, blending and deburring on both hard and soft metals.
- Single ply abrasive is flexible and tensile, conforming to flat and contoured surfaces
- Spiral construction helps eliminate shadow marks and chatter
- Aluminum oxide mineral is friable and breaks down to reveal sharp cutting edges for a consistent cut
- Spiral band easily fits over rubber drums
- No tools required for band changes

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What is the 3M Standard Abrasives™ A/O Spiral Band 713556?
The 3M Standard Abrasives™ A/O Spiral Band 713556 is an abrasive band made up of aluminum oxide mineral and used for sanding, grinding, or finishing on various materials such as wood, metals, plastics or composites.
-
What are the dimensions and quantity in a case?
Each spiral band measures 3 inches by 3 inches and there are fifty bands included in each case.
-
Is this product durable?
Yes! This product features a resin bond system that offers resistance to heat and moisture which improves its overall durability.
Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band is the ideal product for polishing and blending flat surfaces and contours. Its spiral shape allows it to smoothly roll over these surfaces. The circular band rotates centrifugally as it's moved around the workpiece, and the abrasive can easily fit inside hard-to-reach areas. Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band is perfect for removing parting lines, tiny imperfections, and little burrs that could be difficult to remove with a larger abrasive disc or wheel.
Special FeaturesThe spiral construction on Standard Abrasives™ Aluminum Oxide Spiral Band eliminates shadow marks and chatter. Aluminum oxide mineral cuts sharp but is still friable, fragmenting under heat and pressure to reveal sharp cutting edges, so operators get a consistent cut throughout the life of the abrasive. Available in grades 24 to 320 grit, operators can choose the right grade for their project, depending on how aggressive a scratch is desired. Coarser grades, like 24, are good for heavy stock removal, whereas finer grades, like 320, are good for metal finishing and polishing.
Tips for Optimal UseStandard Abrasives™ Spiral Bands are designed for use with rubber drums. The single ply or "single thickness" abrasive fits snugly around the drum like a glove. Compared to 2- or 3-ply thicknesses, the single ply is a bit more flexible and conformable, making it a good match for contoured surfaces. It is important for both the drum and the abrasive to have the same nominal diameter to prevent skipping and bumping.
The Spiral Band stays in constant contact with the workpiece to swiftly rid the surface of little burrs. The maximum allowable RPM for spiral bands is the same as the maximum RPM of the drum, provided the drum and band have the same nominal diameter. Typically, the rubber drum attaches to portable drills, die grinders, straight shaft and angle grinders. The drum requires no extra tools for band changes.
Smooth OperationRemoving contaminants from flat and contoured surfaces is smooth – in finish and operation.
