3M 7010326345 Abrasive Belt 40 Grit 24x3 Inch Ceramic Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010326345 is a coated abrasive belt designed for stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain with aluminum oxide to deliver faster cutting and longer service life compared to standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding and can be run dry or with lubricant. At 40 grit, this belt is suited for aggressive material removal on metal surfaces, including heat-sensitive alloys and stainless steel. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during use. Licensed metalworkers, fabricators, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers and users.

This belt is used in fabrication shops, manufacturing facilities, and industrial maintenance environments where consistent metal finishing and stock removal are required. It is well suited for grinding and blending on carbon steel, stainless steel, and other ferrous metals. The 24-inch length and 3-inch width fit belt grinders and finishing machines configured for that size. The ability to run wet or dry adds flexibility across different workstation setups and materials.
