3M 7000120696 Surface Conditioning Belt 48x2 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7000120696 is a non-woven surface conditioning belt designed for grinding, blending, and finishing operations across a range of metal and non-metal substrates. Built on a durable polyester scrim backing, the belt delivers moderate stretch resistance that keeps it stable on high-speed contact wheels and platen setups. The open-web nylon fiber construction uses aluminum oxide mineral bonded with resin to cut and finish simultaneously, removing light stock while preserving workpiece geometry. Licensed trades and metalworking professionals use these belts where consistent surface finish is the goal without aggressive material removal.

This belt is suited for surface conditioning sequences on stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and similar substrates in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and light industrial environments. The low-stretch backing makes it a practical choice for fixed-arm and slack-belt configurations where dimensional control matters. The open web structure resists loading from fine swarf and finishing residue, extending usable service life between belt changes. Operators working in multi-step finishing sequences can run this belt as an intermediate or final stage pass.

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or maintenance-stock surface conditioning belt for belt grinders and finishing machines accepting a 2 inch wide by 48 inch long abrasive belt configuration.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and replacement should be performed by qualified operators following the machine manufacturer's belt-tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the machine before changing belts. Inspect the contact wheel, platen, and idler for wear or debris before mounting a new belt. Confirm belt arrow direction matches machine rotation before resuming operation.
