3M 7010325961 Abrasive Belt 80x3/4 in 36 Grit Ceramic Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010325961 is a coated abrasive belt designed for stock removal and metal finishing on stationary belt grinders and similar abrasive machinery. It combines a ceramic abrasive grain blend with aluminum oxide to cut faster and last longer than standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing withstands high-pressure grinding passes and can be run dry or with a liquid lubricant. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup, making this belt well suited for heat-sensitive metals including stainless steel. Metalworking shops and fabrication facilities rely on this belt to reduce downtime from frequent belt changes.

This belt is sized at 80 inches long by 3/4 inch wide, with a 36-grit cut rated for aggressive material removal. The orange-colored belt is designed for use on metal surfaces where rapid stock removal is the primary goal, including weld blending, deburring, and surface conditioning on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is commonly installed by metal fabricators, maintenance machinists, and tool and die shops using commercial belt grinding equipment.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend delivers faster cut rate and longer belt life than traditional aluminum oxide alone
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure applications and runs wet or dry
• Built-in grinding aid reduces heat during stainless steel grinding, protecting the workpiece surface
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend belt service life
• 36-grit rating provides aggressive stock removal for rough grinding and weld blending
• Fewer belt changes per job compared to standard aluminum oxide belts

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style coated abrasive belt for stationary and portable belt grinding equipment accepting an 80-inch by 3/4-inch belt size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the grinder manufacturer's belt-change procedure. Power down and de-energize the grinder before removing the worn belt or installing a new one. Confirm belt tracking and tension according to the machine's service manual before resuming operation. Always wear appropriate eye and hand protection when handling abrasive belts and operating grinding equipment.
