3M 7010328200 Abrasive Belt 50 Grit 48x2 Inch Ao Cloth

Product Description

The 3M 7010328200 is a coated abrasive belt designed for general metalworking applications. Built on a flexible cloth backing with a closed-coat aluminum oxide abrasive, this belt cuts aggressively on metal surfaces while delivering consistent, uniform finishes. At 48 inches long and 2 inches wide with a 50-grit rating, it is suited for dry sanding tasks including metal finish repair, blending, and surface refinement. The glue bond construction holds the abrasive evenly across the belt, reducing streaking and uneven cut in finishing passes. Metal fabricators, maintenance technicians, and general metalworking shops are the primary users of this belt.

This belt is used in light-duty to medium-duty metalworking environments where a flexible, general-purpose abrasive belt is needed. Typical applications include repairing scratched or corroded metal surfaces, blending weld seams, and refining finishes before coating or inspection. The closed-coat aluminum oxide construction makes it suitable for use on steel, stainless steel, and similar ferrous metals in dry sanding conditions. It is not designed for wet sanding or heavy stock removal.
