3M 7010299149 Abrasive Belt 325x6 Inch 60 Grit Ceramic Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010299149 is a coated abrasive cloth belt engineered for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. The belt measures 325 inches in length and 6 inches in width, runs on standard belt grinding machines, and carries a 60-grit designation suited for aggressive material removal. A durable resin bond resists heat deterioration, and a built-in grinding aid helps manage heat when working stainless steel. Licensed HVAC techs, fabricators, and metal finishing professionals rely on this belt for consistent performance across production grinding cycles.

This belt is designed for use in industrial and trade metal finishing environments, including structural steel fabrication, stainless steel surface prep, and high-pressure grinding on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-contact-pressure applications without backing breakdown. It can be run dry or with a liquid lubricant, making it adaptable to heat-sensitive metals where dry grinding would cause discoloration or surface damage. Minimum order quantity is 10 belts per order.
