It combines ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide in an 80-grit formulation that cuts faster and outlasts traditional aluminum oxide belts. The belt measures 72 inches in length and 2.5 inches in width and is backed by a heavyweight polyester cloth that holds up under high belt pressure. A durable resin bond resists heat deterioration, extending service life. Licensed trades and industrial grinding professionals rely on this belt for high-volume ferrous and non-ferrous metal finishing work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis belt is suited for grinding and finishing operations on stainless steel, carbon steel, and other metals where heat control and consistent cut rate matter. The heavyweight cloth backing performs well on heat-sensitive metals and can be run dry or with a liquid lubricant depending on the application. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat generation during stainless steel grinding, helping maintain workpiece integrity and belt life. Typical install environments include fabrication shops, weld grinding stations, and industrial production lines using belt grinders or wide-platen contact machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCeramic and aluminum oxide grain blend delivers faster cut and longer life than straight aluminum oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e80-grit formulation suited for aggressive stock removal and intermediate metal finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure grinding and runs wet or dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrinding aid reduces heat buildup during stainless steel applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDurable resin bond resists heat deterioration for extended belt service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProduces more finished parts per belt, reducing changeover frequency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on belt grinders and contact machines accepting a 72-inch by 2.5-inch abrasive belt.
