3M 7010326325 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 18.84x3 Inch Ceramic Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010326325 is a coated abrasive belt designed for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It uses a blend of ceramic abrasive grain and aluminum oxide to cut faster and last longer than standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding without breaking down, and the belt can be run dry or with a lubricant depending on the application. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup, making this belt well-suited for stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. Licensed trades and metal fabricators working in production environments rely on this belt for consistent cut rate and extended service life.

This belt is intended for use in metal fabrication, weld blending, and surface finishing operations. The 80 grit designation makes it effective for aggressive material removal while still achieving a controlled surface finish. The orange cloth backing supports use on angle grinders, backstand grinders, and similar belt-driven equipment. It performs on carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals where heat management and consistent stock removal are priorities.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend cuts faster and lasts longer than standard aluminum oxide abrasives
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing withstands high-pressure applications without delaminating
• Runs wet or dry, adding flexibility across different grinding setups
• Grinding aid reduces friction heat, extending belt life on stainless steel and heat-sensitive metals
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration for longer service intervals and fewer belt changes

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders, backstand units, and powered abrasive belt machines that accept an 18.84-inch by 3-inch belt configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by operators trained in abrasive belt equipment maintenance. Power down and lock out the grinder before changing belts. Confirm belt tracking and tension according to the machine manufacturer guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or edge damage before each use and replace immediately if damage is found.
