3M 7010308486 Abrasive Belt 60x4 Inch 60 Grit Alumina Zirconia

Product Description

The 3M 7010308486 is an alumina zirconia coated abrasive belt designed for high-production grinding, blending, and finishing operations. It measures 60 inches in length and 4 inches in width, making it suited for wide belt machines and edge work applications. The alumina zirconia mineral is paired with a grinding aid that reduces heat buildup and increases cutting efficiency compared to standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing is water-resistant and built to handle high-pressure contact. This belt is installed and used by metal fabricators, weld shops, and industrial maintenance technicians.

This belt is well suited for grinding and finishing on heat-sensitive metals such as aluminum and stainless steel, as well as general-purpose stock removal on a range of substrates. The 60 grit designation targets aggressive material removal and weld blending rather than fine finishing. It is appropriate for use in both manual and machine-fed belt sander applications in fabrication shops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance environments where consistent cut rate and belt life are priorities.

Key Features

• Alumina zirconia mineral with grinding aid delivers higher cut rate than aluminum oxide
• Runs cooler than conventional abrasives, reducing heat damage on aluminum and stainless steel
• Heavyweight water-resistant polyester cloth backing withstands high-pressure grinding and edge work
• 60 grit provides aggressive stock removal and weld blending
• Durable construction suited for high-production and continuous-use operations

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement belt for wide belt sanders and grinders accepting 60 inch by 4 inch abrasive belts.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified operators following the equipment manufacturer's guidelines. Disconnect and lock out all power to the sander or grinder before changing the belt. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Inspect the contact wheel or platen for wear that could cause uneven belt loading or premature failure.
