3M 7010328255 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 328x6 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010328255 is a coated abrasive belt designed for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines 3M ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide for faster cutting and longer belt life compared to standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding and performs reliably on heat-sensitive metals including stainless steel. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during use. The belt runs wet or dry, giving fabricators and metalworkers flexibility across different workstation setups. It measures 328 inches in length and 6 inches in width, with an 80-grit rating for aggressive material removal.

This belt is suited for industrial metal fabrication, weld blending, and surface finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Its ceramic-aluminum oxide grain blend is particularly effective on stainless steel, carbon steel, and hard alloys where heat generation and belt wear are common concerns. It is used in production grinding environments where consistent cut rate and extended belt life reduce changeover time and per-part finishing costs. The orange-colored belt is sold individually (each unit) with a minimum order quantity of 10.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster stock removal and longer service life than standard aluminum oxide belts
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure grinding applications
• Runs wet or dry for versatility across different grinding setups
• Built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup, improving performance on stainless steel and heat-sensitive metals
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend belt life
• Higher parts-per-belt output reduces frequency of belt changes in production environments

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and finishing machines that accept a 328-inch by 6-inch abrasive belt. Suitable for stock removal and surface finishing on stainless steel, carbon steel, and similar metals.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified metalworking or maintenance personnel following the machine manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the belt. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling abrasive belts.
