3M 7010307931 Coated Abrasive Belt 36 Grit 60x37 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010307931 is a coated abrasive cloth belt engineered for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester backing handles high-pressure grinding and can be run wet or dry, making it suitable for both automated and manual belt grinding equipment. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup at the workpiece surface, which is especially useful when working stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. Grit is 36, and the belt measures 60 inches in length and 37 inches in width.

This belt is used in fabrication shops, weld prep, heavy stock removal, and surface conditioning on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend is well matched to applications where traditional aluminum oxide belts wear too quickly or fail to maintain consistent cut rate over the life of the belt. It performs in high-contact-pressure scenarios typical of wide-belt sanders, combination grinders, and floor-standing belt units used in commercial and industrial metal fabrication.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend delivers faster cut rate and longer belt life than standard aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight polyester backing supports high-pressure applications without backing breakdown
• Runs wet or dry, compatible with coolant or lubricant use
• Integrated grinding aid reduces heat generation during stainless steel grinding
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend usable belt life
• Produces more finished parts per belt, reducing changeover frequency

Compatibility

Designed for use on wide-belt grinding and finishing machines that accept 60-inch by 37-inch abrasive cloth belts in coated abrasive applications on metal substrates.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's belt-tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the grinder or belt sander before mounting or removing the belt. Inspect the belt for tears, edge damage, or splice separation before each use. Follow applicable ANSI and OSHA abrasive product safety standards when operating belt grinding equipment.
