3M 7010307958 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 2x60 Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7010307958 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. It measures 2 inches wide by 60 inches long and uses aluminum oxide as the abrasive mineral, making it well suited for general-purpose grinding and finishing tasks. The 80 grit rating places it in the medium grade range, effective for stock removal and surface prep before finer finishing stages. A heavy-duty X-weight cloth backing resists tearing and flexing under load, and the closed coat density delivers consistent cut throughout the belt's service life. Used dry, it fits standard belt grinders and file belt tools common in fabrication and maintenance shops.

This belt is a practical choice for metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and finishing operations that require a durable, medium-grit abrasive on a power belt grinder. The 2 inches by 60 inches format is a widely used size on bench-mounted and portable belt grinders. It handles deburring, weld blending, and surface conditioning on ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as hardwood. The dry-only operation designation means it should not be used with cutting fluids or water-based coolants.

Key Features

• 80 grit medium grade for efficient stock removal and surface prep
• Aluminum oxide abrasive mineral for durability on metal and wood
• X-weight cloth backing for strength and resistance to tearing under load
• Closed coat density provides consistent, aggressive cut across the full belt face
• Dry operation design compatible with standard belt grinder applications
• Series 341D construction for reliable performance in production and maintenance use

Compatibility

Designed to fit belt grinders and file belt machines that accept a 2 inches wide by 60 inches long abrasive belt. Verify drive wheel and idler spacing on the specific machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and replacement is typically performed by the equipment operator or maintenance technician. Power down and disconnect the belt grinder from its power source before changing abrasive belts. Confirm belt tracking direction, as most coated abrasive belts are directional and will show an arrow on the backing indicating correct run orientation. Inspect the drive and idler wheels for wear or debris before mounting a new belt.
