3M 7010326748 Abrasive Belt 42x1.5 Inch P220 Grit Ao Cloth

Product Description

The 3M 7010326748 is a coated abrasive cloth belt designed for light grinding, finishing, deburring, and grain-setting on a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Built on a flexible J-weight cloth backing, the belt conforms readily to contours and complex part geometries. The abrasive is aluminum oxide at P220 grit, bonded with resin for extended life. The open-coat construction allows sanding dust to evacuate efficiently, reducing loading and maintaining cut rate over the life of the belt. At 42 inches long and 1.5 inches wide, it is sized for standard backstand grinders, file belt tools, and benchtop motor setups.

This belt is suited for dry metalworking on carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, and copper. The P220 grit makes it appropriate for finishing and blending passes rather than aggressive stock removal. The flexible J-weight backing is particularly useful when the workpiece has curved surfaces, weld beads, or complex profiles that require the belt to conform rather than bridge. It is typically installed and used by metal fabricators, maintenance technicians, and finishing operators working at stationary or handheld belt grinding equipment.

Key Features

• Resin bond maximizes durability and abrasive retention across the belt life
• Sized for backstand grinders, file belt tools, and benchtop motors
• Suitable for dry metalworking on steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, and copper

Compatibility

Designed for use on backstand grinders, file belt tools, and benchtop motors accepting a 42-inch by 1.5-inch abrasive belt.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the equipment manufacturer's mounting and tensioning guidelines. Disengage and lock out the grinder or belt tool before changing the abrasive belt. Confirm belt tracking adjustment before resuming operation. Always use appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling and operating abrasive belts.
