3M 7010326309 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 132x1.5 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010326309 is a coated abrasive belt designed for high-demand stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure contact-wheel and platen grinding setups and holds up in both dry and wet lubricated operations. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup at the workpiece, making this belt well-suited for heat-sensitive metals including stainless steel. Fabricators, metal finishers, and weld grinding shops are the primary users.

This belt is built for industrial and production metal finishing environments where belt life and consistent cut rate directly affect throughput. It performs on mild steel, stainless steel, and other ferrous metals in applications such as weld blending, surface conditioning, and aggressive stock removal. The 80 grit rating positions it in the medium-to-coarse range, appropriate for initial material removal before transitioning to finer grits. It is sized at 132 inches in length and 1.5 inches in width, fitting contact-wheel grinders and backstand finishing machines that accept that belt dimension.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cut and longer belt life versus standard AO belts
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure grinding without backing failure
• Runs wet or dry, compatible with water-based and oil-based lubricants
• Grinding aid reduces heat generation, extending performance on stainless steel and heat-sensitive alloys
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to maintain consistent cutting action throughout belt life
• 80 grit rating suited to aggressive stock removal and weld blending passes

Compatibility

Designed for contact-wheel grinders, backstand finishing machines, and wide-belt finishing equipment that accept a 132-inch by 1.5-inch abrasive belt.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive belt machinery. Confirm the grinder is fully powered down and the wheel has come to a complete stop before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tension according to the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Inspect the belt splice and backing for damage prior to each use.
