3M 7010308493 Abrasive Belt 60x2 Inch 60 Grit Alumina Zirconia

Product Description

The 3M 7010308493 is an alumina zirconia coated abrasive belt engineered for high-production grinding, blending, and finishing on metal and other substrates. The belt measures 60 inches in length and 2 inches in width, runs at 60 grit, and is backed by a heavyweight water-resistant polyester cloth. Alumina zirconia grain with a built-in grinding aid delivers significantly higher cutting rates than conventional aluminum oxide belts, making this belt well suited for demanding stock removal and edge work where consistent performance matters. Installed by metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians, it handles both manual and machine-driven belt grinding applications.

This belt is intended for use on heat-sensitive metals such as aluminum and stainless steel, as well as harder ferrous alloys and general-purpose substrates. The 60-grit grade positions it for aggressive material removal and initial surface shaping rather than fine finishing work. The heavyweight polyester backing resists moisture and maintains dimensional stability under high contact pressure, making it appropriate for both flat surface grinding and edge contouring work in production environments.

Key Features

• Alumina zirconia abrasive grain with grinding aid delivers higher cutting efficiency than aluminum oxide
• 60-grit rating suited for aggressive stock removal and initial shaping
• Heavyweight water-resistant polyester cloth backing withstands high contact pressure and edge work
• Runs cool, reducing heat buildup on heat-sensitive metals including aluminum and stainless steel
• 60 inch x 2 inch dimensions fit standard belt grinding machines configured for this size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or consumable abrasive belt for belt grinders and finishing machines configured to accept a 60-inch by 2-inch belt.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified personnel following the belt grinder or finishing machine manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and lock out the machine before changing belts. Confirm belt tracking and tension are properly adjusted before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or delamination before each use and replace immediately if damage is found.
