3M 7010325981 Ceramic Abrasive Belt 118in 3in P120

Product Description

The 3M 7010325981 is a coated abrasive belt designed for light to moderate-pressure stock removal, blending, and finish operations on contoured surfaces. It uses a blend of ceramic aluminum oxide and premium aluminum oxide abrasive grain bonded with a durable resin system to a flexible rayon backing. The ceramic grain component delivers higher cut rates and longer belt life compared to conventional aluminum oxide belts. An incorporated grinding aid reduces heat buildup during use, making this belt well suited for stainless steel and other heat-sensitive or exotic metals. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators working in metal finishing applications install and use this belt on compatible belt grinders and finishing machines.

This belt is built for applications where a conformable abrasive is required to follow curved, radiused, or otherwise contoured workpiece geometry. It handles stock removal, weld blending, surface conditioning, and scratch refinement on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The P120 grit designation places it in the medium finishing range, appropriate for intermediate material removal and pre-polish surface prep. It measures 118 inches in length and 3 inches in width, fitting standard wide-form belt grinders and finishing machines configured for that belt size.

Key Features

• Ceramic aluminum oxide and premium aluminum oxide blend for higher cut rate and durability versus standard aluminum oxide abrasives
• Flexible rayon backing conforms to contoured and curved surfaces for consistent contact and finish
• Incorporated grinding aid reduces heat generation, extending belt life and protecting heat-sensitive alloys including stainless steel
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration for extended service life between belt changes
• P120 grit suits light to moderate stock removal, blending, and scratch refinement
• 118 inch length by 3 inch width fits wide-form belt finishing equipment in that configuration

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and abrasive finishing machines accepting a 118-inch by 3-inch coated abrasive belt. Verify machine belt-size specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive belt equipment. Power down and lock out the grinder or finishing machine before changing belts. Confirm belt tracking direction arrows align with the machine drive direction before startup. Inspect the contact wheel, platen, and idler for wear or damage that could cause premature belt failure.
