3M 7010325682 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 15.5x2.5 Inch Ao Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7010325682 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive stock removal and metal finishing on grinding and finishing equipment. It combines 3M ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure applications and can be run dry or with a liquid lubricant. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during operation, making it well-suited for stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. This belt measures 15.5 inches in length and 2.5 inches in width with an 80 grit rating.

This belt is used in metal fabrication, weld blending, and surface conditioning applications across industrial and trade settings. It performs in applications where traditional aluminum oxide belts wear too quickly or overheat the workpiece. Metal fabricators, maintenance machinists, and finishing technicians typically deploy this belt on stationary belt grinders and contact-wheel machines. The 80 grit makes it appropriate for initial stock removal and aggressive surface preparation before moving to finer finishing stages.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend delivers faster cut rate and longer belt life compared to standard AO belts
• Heavyweight polyester backing supports high-pressure grinding and runs wet or dry
• Built-in grinding aid reduces heat generation, extending performance on stainless steel and heat-sensitive metals
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend overall belt service life
• Higher parts-per-belt yield means fewer belt changes and less downtime
• 80 grit rating suited for aggressive stock removal and surface preparation

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and contact-wheel finishing machines that accept a 15.5-inch by 2.5-inch abrasive belt configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation and belt changes should be performed by qualified personnel following the equipment manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and lock out the grinder before removing or installing the belt. Confirm belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling and operating abrasive belts.
