3M SC-BS Surface Conditioning Belt

The 3M 08857 is a non-woven abrasive belt designed for surface conditioning tasks. It uses aluminum oxide grain bonded with resin on a scrim backing. The semi-flexible construction suits contour sanding and finishing work on metal or wood surfaces.

18 in length by 1/2 in width

This belt measures 18 inches long and half an inch wide, matching the SC-BS series dimensions. The medium-grade maroon abrasive provides consistent cut without aggressive stock removal. Load-resistant coating helps maintain performance during extended use.

Questions about this item

How does the Medium-grade aluminum oxide belt perform on metal finishing?

The Medium-grade aluminum oxide abrasive removes surface imperfections and blends scratches without aggressive stock removal, leaving a consistent satin finish on steel, stainless or aluminum.

What does the SC-BS non-woven construction mean for belt life and loading?

The open non-woven scrim backing resists loading, dissipates heat and conforms to contours, so the belt stays sharp longer on contoured parts and soft metals.

Will the 18-inch by 1/2-inch belt fit my portable belt sander?

It fits any sander that accepts an 18-inch loop and a 1/2-inch wide belt; verify your machine's belt length and width before ordering.
