3M 7010326101 Coated Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 18.87x3 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010326101 is a coated abrasive belt designed for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain with aluminum oxide to deliver faster cutting action and longer service life compared to conventional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding without breakdown. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup, making this belt effective on heat-sensitive metals including stainless steel. At 18.87 inches long and 3 inches wide with an 80-grit designation, it fits a range of industrial belt grinders and finishing machines used in fabrication and metalworking environments.

This belt is suited for metal fabrication shops, weld blending, deburring, and surface conditioning on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 80-grit cut makes it appropriate for aggressive stock removal before transitioning to finer finishing steps. It can be run dry or with a liquid lubricant, giving operators flexibility across different workpiece materials and machine setups. Maintenance technicians, fabricators, and metalworking professionals working in production or job-shop environments are the primary installers and users of this belt.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cut rate and extended belt life versus standard aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure applications without premature wear
• Built-in grinding aid reduces heat generation, improving performance on stainless steel and heat-sensitive metals
• Compatible with wet or dry operation for versatile use across materials and setups
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend overall belt service life
• Higher parts-per-belt output reduces changeout frequency in production environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard consumable for industrial belt grinders and finishing machines accepting an 18.87-inch by 3-inch abrasive belt.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by the machine operator or maintenance technician per the belt grinder manufacturer's instructions. Power down and de-energize the machine before mounting or removing the belt. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Always confirm the machine's rated belt speed does not exceed the belt's maximum allowable surface speed before running.
