3M 7010308223 Abrasive Belt P120 Grit 18.84x2 Inch Ao Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7010308223 is a coated abrasive belt engineered for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It uses a blend of ceramic abrasive grain and aluminum oxide that cuts faster and lasts longer than standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding without breaking down, and the belt runs effectively both dry and with lubricant. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during operation, making this belt well suited for heat-sensitive metals including stainless steel. The durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend service life between belt changes.

This belt is intended for metalworking environments where consistent stock removal and finish quality are required across multiple parts. Typical applications include weld blending, surface conditioning, and metal finishing on fabricated components. The P120 grit designation targets intermediate finishing stages where surface prep and controlled material removal are priorities. The 18.84-inch length and 2-inch width fit contact wheel and platen configurations common in shop and production settings. It is used by metal fabricators, maintenance machinists, and welding professionals working on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
