3M 7010326090 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 18.84x3 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010326090 is a coated abrasive belt designed for stock removal and metal finishing on stationary and handheld belt sanders. It combines 3M ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide in an 80-grit formulation that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure applications and runs wet or dry. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup, making this belt well suited for stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. Licensed HVAC, fabrication, and metalworking shops rely on this belt for consistent, repeatable results across high-volume grinding and blending operations.

This belt is intended for use in industrial and trade metal finishing applications, including weld blending, surface conditioning, and aggressive stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 80-grit rating positions it in the medium-coarse range, suitable for initial material removal before transitioning to finer finishing steps. The belt measures 18.84 inches in length and 3 inches in width, fitting standard 3-inch belt sanders and grinders used in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and field metalwork.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cut rate and extended belt life compared to standard aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure grinding and can be run wet or dry
• Built-in grinding aid reduces heat generation, protecting heat-sensitive metals such as stainless steel
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend service life
• Higher parts-per-belt output reduces belt change frequency in production environments

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for 3-inch wide abrasive belt applications on standard belt sanders and grinders accepting an 18.84-inch by 3-inch coated belt.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified metalworkers or maintenance technicians. Before changing belts, power down and lockout the grinder or sander in accordance with OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Confirm belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling and changing abrasive belts.
