3M 7010326107 Abrasive Belt 328x6 Inch 60 Grit Ceramic Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010326107 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive stock removal and metal finishing on stationary belt grinders and finishing machines. It combines 3M ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. A durable resin bond resists heat deterioration, extending belt life during demanding grinding cycles. The heavyweight polyester backing handles high-pressure contact wheel and platen applications and can be run dry or with lubricant. At 328 inches long and 6 inches wide with a 60-grit cut, this belt suits fabricators, welders, and metalworking shops focused on throughput and consistent surface finish.

This belt is suited for metal fabrication environments where stainless steel, carbon steel, and heat-sensitive alloys are processed. It performs on wide belt machines and large-format grinders used in industrial and job-shop settings. The ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend delivers efficient material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup at the workpiece surface, making it a practical choice for stainless steel finishing where heat discoloration must be minimized. Installation and use require no special tooling beyond standard belt-tensioning procedures for the host machine.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cut and extended belt life compared to aluminum oxide alone
• Grinding aid reduces heat at the workpiece surface, protecting heat-sensitive metals such as stainless steel
• Heavyweight polyester backing supports high-pressure platen and contact wheel applications
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration for longer service intervals
• Can be run dry or with lubricant for application flexibility
• 60-grit cut rate suited for aggressive stock removal and initial surface finishing

Compatibility

Designed for use on wide-belt grinding and finishing machines that accept 328-inch by 6-inch coated abrasive belts. Confirm machine belt-speed and tension ratings before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive belt machinery. Power down and lock out the grinder before changing belts. Verify belt tracking alignment and tension according to the machine manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or splice damage prior to each use; do not run a damaged belt.
