3M 7010326999 Abrasive Belt 36x2 Inch 40 Grit Alumina Zirconia

Product Description

The 3M 7010326999 is an alumina zirconia coated abrasive belt designed for demanding material removal on metal and other substrates. Measuring 36 inches in length and 2 inches in width with a 40-grit cut, this belt delivers faster stock removal and longer service life compared to standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight, water-resistant polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure applications and edge work without breaking down. A built-in grinding aid helps the belt run cool, making it a reliable choice for heat-sensitive metals such as aluminum and stainless steel. Licensed trade professionals and production grinding shops install and use this belt in angle grinder and belt grinder applications.

This abrasive belt is suited for production grinding, weld blending, deburring, and surface conditioning on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The alumina zirconia mineral fractures continuously during use, exposing fresh cutting edges and sustaining aggressive material removal throughout the belt life. It performs well on stainless steel, aluminum, mild steel, and similar substrates where controlled heat generation is important. The water-resistant polyester backing resists moisture and maintains integrity under pressure, making it appropriate for both wet and dry grinding environments.

Key Features

• Alumina zirconia abrasive grain with grinding aid removes material faster than aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight water-resistant polyester cloth backing withstands high-pressure and edge grinding
• Runs cool, reducing heat buildup on aluminum, stainless steel, and other heat-sensitive metals
• Self-sharpening mineral fracture exposes fresh cutting edges for sustained performance
• 40-grit cut rating suits aggressive stock removal and weld blending tasks
• 36 inch by 2 inch format fits standard belt grinder and backstand configurations

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement coated abrasive belt for belt grinders and backstands that accept 36 inch by 2 inch belts.

Installation Notes

Belt grinder maintenance and abrasive changes are typically performed by metalworking professionals, fabricators, or industrial maintenance technicians. Power down and lockout the grinder before changing belts, and verify the arrow or run-direction marking on the belt aligns with the machine's direction of rotation before tensioning. Inspect tracking guides and tension settings after installing a new belt. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves during installation and operation.
