3M 7010307736 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 42x1 Inch Ceramic Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010307736 is a coated abrasive belt designed 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 standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester backing handles high-pressure grinding without breakdown. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during operation, making this belt well suited for stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. It runs dry or with lubricant, giving the operator flexibility across different finishing setups. Licensed trades and metal fabricators install and use this belt in production grinding environments.

This belt is sized at 42 inches in length and 1 inch in width, making it compatible with narrow belt grinders and finishing machines commonly found in metal fabrication shops, HVAC duct work fabrication, and mechanical contractor facilities. The 60-grit rating positions it for aggressive material removal while still delivering consistent surface finishes on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The orange-colored backing aids in visual identification during belt changes on high-volume production lines.
