3M 7010328587 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 18.75x1 Inch Ceramic Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010328587 is a coated abrasive belt designed for stock removal and metal finishing applications on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It combines 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than straight aluminum oxide belts. A heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure belt grinding without breakdown. A built-in grinding aid manages heat buildup, making this belt well-suited for work on stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. The resin bond is formulated to resist heat deterioration and extend usable belt life. Run it dry or with lubricant depending on the application.

This belt is used in industrial and fabrication environments where consistent material removal rates and extended abrasive life reduce downtime from frequent belt changes. Typical applications include weld blending, surface conditioning, and finish grinding on metal parts. It is well-matched to belt grinders and backstand grinders in shop settings. At 60 grit, it performs in the coarse cutting range, making it appropriate for aggressive stock removal before finer finishing steps.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator with the grinder powered down and disconnected from its power source. Confirm belt tracking and tension according to the grinder manufacturer guidelines before running. Inspect the belt for tears or separation at the splice before each use. Follow applicable shop safety and PPE requirements when operating abrasive belt equipment.
