3M 7010326108 Ceramic Abrasive Belt 72in X 2in P180 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7010326108 is a coated abrasive cloth belt engineered for light to moderate-pressure stock removal, blending, and scratch refinement on contoured surfaces. It uses a blend of 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain and premium aluminum oxide, delivering greater durability and cut rate compared to standard aluminum oxide belts. The flexible rayon backing conforms to curved and irregular workpiece profiles, helping maintain consistent surface finish across a pass. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during operation, which is critical when working on stainless steel and other heat-sensitive alloys. This belt measures 72 inches long and 2 inches wide with a P180 grit rating.

This belt is suited for metalworking applications requiring conformable, consistent finishing on contoured or irregular surfaces. It is commonly used in fabrication shops, maintenance environments, and production finishing lines where stainless steel, exotic metals, and other hard alloys are processed. The P180 grit makes it appropriate for intermediate finishing, blending welds, and refining scratches left by coarser abrasive stages. Licensed trades and skilled fabricators handling precision finishing work will find this belt a capable tool for reducing abrasive change frequency and maintaining throughput.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide abrasive blend delivers higher cut rate and longer belt life than standard aluminum oxide alone
• Flexible rayon backing conforms to contoured and irregular part profiles for uniform finishing
• Integrated grinding aid reduces heat generation, extending performance on stainless steel and exotic metals
• Durable resin bond resists heat-related deterioration for extended service life
• P180 grit rating suited for stock removal, blending, and scratch refinement
• 72 inch by 2 inch format compatible with standard wide-contact and narrow belt grinding equipment

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinding and finishing equipment accepting 72 inch by 2 inch abrasive belts. Suitable for use on stainless steel, exotic metals, and other hard or heat-sensitive alloys where a conformable belt is required.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator with the grinder fully powered down and unplugged before loading. Confirm belt tracking and tension per the equipment manufacturer's guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or edge damage prior to each use. Appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves should be worn during installation and operation.
