3M 7010325849 Abrasive Belt 36 Grit 30x1 Inch Ao Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7010325849 is a coated abrasive belt designed for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain with aluminum oxide to deliver faster cutting and longer belt life compared to conventional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding without breaking down, making it well suited for use on stainless steel, carbon steel, and other metals. At 36 grit, this belt removes material aggressively. It weighs 0.4 pounds and measures 30 inches in length by 1 inch in width. Fabricators, metalworkers, and finishing technicians install this belt on stationary or portable belt grinders in production and job-shop environments.

This belt fits applications where heat control matters. The built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during stainless steel grinding, helping to protect the workpiece surface and extend abrasive life. The durable resin bond resists heat deterioration throughout the belt life. It can be run dry or with a lubricant, giving the operator flexibility depending on the material and finish requirement. Typical use cases include weld blending, deburring, surface conditioning, and aggressive stock removal on flat or contoured metal parts in fabrication shops and maintenance facilities.
