3M 7010325860 Abrasive Belt 132x2 Inch 36 Grit Ao Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7010325860 is a coated abrasive belt designed for stock removal and metal finishing applications in industrial and fabrication environments. It uses a blend of ceramic abrasive grain and aluminum oxide that cuts faster and lasts longer than standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure grinding and is compatible with both dry and wet lubricated operation. At 36 grit, this belt is suited for aggressive material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during use, making it effective on heat-sensitive metals including stainless steel. Licensed metalworking and fabrication professionals are the primary installers and users of this product.

This belt is used in industrial grinding, weld blending, and surface conditioning on metal workpieces. The 132-inch length and 2-inch width fit standard belt grinder and finishing machine configurations used in manufacturing, maintenance, and metal fabrication shops. The orange-colored belt is easy to identify on the shop floor. The resin bond system resists heat deterioration, which reduces belt swap frequency and maintains consistent cut rate over the belt's service life.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cutting and extended belt life compared to standard aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure applications without deformation
• Operates dry or with lubricant for flexibility across different workpiece materials
• Grinding aid reduces heat generation, improving performance on stainless steel and heat-sensitive metals
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend service intervals
• 36 grit provides aggressive stock removal suitable for initial grinding and weld blending

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard belt grinders and finishing machines that accept a 132-inch by 2-inch abrasive belt configuration, used in metal fabrication and surface conditioning applications.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified machine operators following the equipment manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure the belt grinder is fully powered down and de-energized before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tension according to machine specifications before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for damage before each use and do not exceed the rated operating speed of the machine.
