3M 7010300158 Abrasive Belt 72x2 Inch 120 Grit Alumina Zirconia

Product Description

The 3M 7010300158 is a coated abrasive belt designed for demanding material removal and finishing work on metal substrates. It uses alumina zirconia abrasive grain combined with a grinding aid to deliver faster cutting action than standard aluminum oxide belts. The belt measures 72 inches in length and 2 inches in width, with a 120-grit rating suited for moderate stock removal and surface blending. A heavyweight, water-resistant polyester cloth backing provides the rigidity and durability needed for high-pressure applications and edge grinding. Licensed tradespeople in metal fabrication, welding shops, and general industrial settings install and operate this belt on compatible belt grinders and finishing machines.

This belt is built for high-production grinding and finishing on heat-sensitive metals including aluminum and stainless steel. The alumina zirconia grain runs cooler than many conventional abrasives, reducing the risk of heat discoloration or warping on workpieces. Its heavyweight polyester backing handles edge work and contact-wheel applications where standard cloth backings tend to break down prematurely. The 120-grit grade positions it in the intermediate finishing range, effective for blending welds, removing mill scale, and preparing surfaces before final finishing steps.

Key Features
