3M 7010325979 Abrasive Belt 60x1.5 in 80 Grit Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7010325979 is a coated abrasive belt designed for stroke sanding and metal finishing across a range of metal substrates. It measures 60 inches long by 1.5 inches wide and runs at 80 grit. The belt uses a blend of ceramic and aluminum oxide grain on an X-weight cotton backing. This combination delivers a high cut rate with extended belt life, making it a practical choice for production and maintenance work on stainless steel, nickel, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals. A grinding aid is incorporated to control heat buildup during aggressive passes.

This belt is suited for industrial and trade environments where consistent surface finishing is required on metal workpieces. Typical applications include stroke sanding on metal fabrication benches, weld blending, and surface prep on stainless steel components. The anti-friction backing helps the belt track and run smoothly on contact wheels and platen-style stroke sanders. Metal fabricators, maintenance machinists, and finishing technicians are the primary users of this belt.
