Q: Will this belt fit my 3M File Belt Sander?
A: Yes, this 1/2 in × 18 in belt is compatible with 3M File Belt Sanders like model 28366 and most other file belt machines designed for that size.
Q: Can it be used on stainless or high-strength steel?
A: Absolutely. The precision-shaped ceramic grain and grinding aid keep the belt running cool, reducing heat build-up that can discolor or stress high-strength alloys.

A: Replace when cutting slows noticeably or the backing shows wear—Cubitron II belts typically last twice as long as conventional ceramic belts.
Q: Is this belt safe for removing spot welds?
A: Yes. It’s engineered for spot-weld removal and rivet grinding, offering precise control and fast metal removal when used with proper PPE.
