3M 7010327317 Abrasive Belt 118x3 Inch P320 Grit Ao Cloth

Product Description

The 3M 7010327317 is an aluminum oxide coated abrasive belt designed for metalworking applications on backstand grinders, file belt tools, and benchtop motors. Measuring 118 inches long by 3 inches wide, this belt features a flexible J-weight cloth backing that conforms to contours and complex part geometries. The P320 grit rating makes it well suited for finishing, deburring, and setting the grain on a range of metals. Open coat construction and a resin bond system work together to extend abrasive life and maintain a consistent cut throughout the belt's service life.

This belt is intended for dry metalworking on carbon steel, stainless steel, and soft metals including aluminum, brass, bronze, and copper. Typical applications include light grinding, surface finishing, blending weld seams, and deburring edges on fabricated parts. It is a practical choice for metal fabrication shops and maintenance environments where consistent surface finish on both ferrous and non-ferrous materials is required. The open coat design helps clear sanding swarf from the abrasive face, reducing loading and maintaining cut rate.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive provides fast cutting action across most common metals
• Flexible J-weight cloth backing conforms to contours and complex part shapes
• Open coat construction evacuates sanding dust to reduce loading and extend belt life
• Resin bond system maximizes abrasive retention and overall belt durability
• Suitable for dry metalworking on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Compatible with backstand grinders, file belt tools, and benchtop motor setups

Compatibility

Designed for use on backstand grinders, file belt tools, and benchtop motors in dry metalworking applications on carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, and copper.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified operator following the grinder or file tool manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the belt. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Always confirm that belt speed rating is compatible with the machine's maximum surface speed before use.
