3M 7010326312 Abrasive Belt P240 Grit 15.5 X 3.5 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7010326312 is a coated abrasive cloth belt designed for light to moderate-pressure stock removal, blending, and scratch refinement on contoured and flat surfaces. Built around a blend of 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain and premium aluminum oxide, the 707E series delivers faster cut rates and longer service life compared to conventional aluminum oxide belts. The flexible rayon backing conforms to curved and profiled workpieces, maintaining consistent abrasive contact throughout the cut. At P240 grit, this belt suits fine material removal and finishing passes where surface quality matters. Metalworkers, fabricators, and finishing technicians use it in production and job-shop environments alike.

This belt is suited for grinding, blending, and finishing operations on stainless steel, carbon steel, and other ferrous and exotic metals. The incorporated grinding aid actively reduces heat buildup during use, which is especially valuable when working stainless steel and high-alloy materials that are sensitive to heat discoloration or work hardening. The P240 grit rating makes it appropriate for finishing stages following coarser stock-removal passes. It measures 15.5 inches in length and 3.5 inches in width, fitting belt grinders and finishing machines configured for that size.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide abrasive blend for higher cut rate and longer belt life versus standard aluminum oxide
• Flexible rayon backing conforms to contoured and profiled workpiece surfaces
• Grinding aid reduces heat generation, improving performance on stainless steel and exotic metals
• Durable resin bond resists heat-related deterioration to extend belt service life
• P240 grit rating suited for light stock removal, blending, and scratch refinement
• Orange color coding aids grit identification during belt changes

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and finishing machines that accept a 15.5-inch by 3.5-inch abrasive belt. Suited for ferrous metals, stainless steel, and exotic alloys in light to moderate-pressure finishing applications.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure the grinder or finishing machine is powered down and locked out before changing belts. Verify belt tracking alignment after installation and before resuming operation. Always use appropriate eye protection and work gloves when handling and mounting abrasive belts.
