3M 7010325801 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 72x2 Inch Cubitron Ii

Product Description

The 3M 7010325801 is a coated abrasive belt from the Cubitron II 947A series, engineered for high-performance grinding and finishing on metal surfaces. It is built with 3M Precision-Shaped Grain, a proprietary abrasive technology that slices through metal rather than gouging or plowing, delivering faster material removal at lower applied pressure. The belt measures 72 inches in length and 2 inches in width, with an X-weight poly-cotton backing that provides the flexibility needed for contour grinding and curved surface work. At 120 grit, it is suited for medium-stock-removal passes and surface blending. A built-in grinding aid reduces friction during cutting, which helps keep the workpiece cooler and reduces the risk of heat discoloration or metallurgical damage.

This belt is optimized for low to medium pressure applications on stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum. It is commonly used in fabrication shops, metal service centers, and maintenance environments where consistent cut rate and surface finish quality are required on tube, pipe, flat stock, and structural profiles. The 947A designation reflects its suitability for both production grinding and finishing passes without belt change. Tradespeople and fabricators handling stainless components benefit particularly from its cool-cutting behavior, which minimizes heat-induced discoloration on corrosion-resistant alloys.

Key Features

• 72 inch by 2 inch format fits standard belt grinders used in metal fabrication
• X-weight poly-cotton backing provides flexibility for contour and curved surface applications
• Integrated grinding aid reduces cutting friction and helps prevent workpiece heat damage
• Engineered for use on stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum

Compatibility

Designed for use on stainless steel, mild steels, and aluminum in low to medium pressure grinding applications. Fits belt grinders and finishing machines accepting 72 inch by 2 inch coated abrasive belts.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified personnel following the equipment manufacturer's guidelines for belt grinders and finishing machines. Verify belt tracking and tension before engaging the workpiece. Always inspect the belt for cracks, tears, or delamination prior to use, and replace any belt showing signs of wear or damage. Use appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling and mounting abrasive belts.
