3M 7010326348 Abrasive Belt 50 Grit 15.78x1.75 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010326348 is a coated abrasive belt designed for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding and can be run dry or with lubricant. At 15.78 inches long and 1.75 inches wide with a 50 grit rating, this belt suits aggressive material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup, making it well suited for heat-sensitive metals including stainless steel. Installed by machinists, fabricators, and metalworking professionals.

This belt fits standard belt grinders and finishing machines configured for 15.78 x 1.75 inch belts. It is engineered for metal finishing, weld blending, and stock removal on a range of metals. The 50 grit cut is appropriate for initial material removal and surface preparation before progressing to finer grits. The belt performs well in both dry and wet or lubricated grinding setups, giving operators flexibility across different workpiece materials and shop conditions.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend delivers faster cut rates and extended belt life compared to conventional aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure applications without backing failure
• Grinding aid integrated into the bond reduces heat generation during stainless steel grinding
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend usable belt life
• Can be run dry or with lubricant for compatibility with varied shop setups
• 50 grit rating suited for aggressive stock removal and initial surface preparation

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and abrasive finishing machines that accept 15.78 inch by 1.75 inch coated abrasive belts.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and replacement should be performed by qualified metalworking personnel with the machine powered off and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or edge damage before each use and do not exceed the machine manufacturer's rated speed for the belt width and backing type.
