3M 7010326123 Abrasive Belt 60x36 Inch 80 Grit Ao Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7010326123 is a coated abrasive belt designed for heavy-duty stock removal and metal finishing on wide belt grinding and sanding machines. It measures 60 inches in length and 36 inches in width, making it suited for large-surface industrial applications. The belt combines ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. A durable resin bond holds the grain to a heavyweight polyester cloth backing rated for high-pressure passes. The 80-grit designation targets aggressive material removal while still leaving a workable surface finish on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

This belt is used in industrial fabrication, metal service centers, and job shops where wide-platen or contact-drum machines handle sheet metal, plate, structural steel, stainless steel, and heat-sensitive alloys. The grinding aid built into the construction reduces friction heat during stainless steel work, helping prevent surface discoloration and metallurgical damage. The belt can be run dry or with a compatible liquid lubricant, adding flexibility across different machine setups and material types. It is typically installed and serviced by maintenance machinists, fabricators, or grinding machine operators.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend delivers faster cut rates and extended belt life compared to standard aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing withstands high-pressure grinding without delamination or tearing
• Built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup, protecting heat-sensitive metals such as stainless steel during finishing passes
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to maximize usable belt life
• Wet or dry capable for compatibility with different machine configurations and coolant systems
• 80 grit provides aggressive stock removal suitable for initial surface conditioning and weld blending

Compatibility

Designed for use on wide-belt grinding and sanding machines that accept 60-inch by 36-inch coated abrasive belts in industrial metal finishing and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's guidelines. Always power down and lock out the grinding machine before changing belts. Inspect the contact drum, platen, and tracking system for wear or debris before mounting a new belt. Confirm belt tracking adjustment before returning the machine to full operating speed.
