The Mirka Hiolit XO 2 x 72 in. 36 Grit Cloth Portable/Narrow Sanding Belt is a semi-open, stiff universal abrasive engineered for belt sanding and machine sanding that demands excellent edge wear resistance and long belt life. Built on a polyester cloth backing with a blue-fired aluminum oxide grain bonded resin over resin, this 36-grit belt is suited to rapid stock removal, paint stripping, and leveling rough or rusted surfaces. It uses a durable T joint cut straight through the belt and reinforced on the back, set at an angle to resist chatter and prevent marking the material. Each box contains 50 belts. Hiolit XO delivers consistent, high-quality results on demanding materials including hardwood, softwood, MDF, chipboard, veneer, steel, and composites, making it a dependable choice for woodworking, metalworking, automotive, and finishing shops.
