3M 7010328662 Abrasive Belt 72x2 Inch Ao Rayon Gray

Product Description

The 3M 7010328662 is a Trizact 307EA coated abrasive belt built on a flexible rayon cloth backing with aluminum oxide abrasive mineral formed into precision microreplication pyramids. As the pyramids wear during use, fresh sharp cutting edges are continuously exposed. The result is a consistent cut rate and a predictable, fine surface finish maintained throughout the life of the belt. At 72 inches long and 2 inches wide, this belt suits wide-stroke and contour finishing operations in metal fabrication, plating prep, and polishing applications. Technicians and finishing operators in industrial and manufacturing environments will find it well suited to intermediate and fine finishing passes.

This belt is designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing work prior to plating or buffing operations. The flexible rayon backing allows the belt to conform to contoured and curved workpiece surfaces, delivering uniform contact and consistent scratch patterns across complex geometries. The three-dimensional pyramid structure makes it particularly effective in robotic and automated finishing systems where repeatable, consistent results across long production runs are required. It performs well on metal surfaces where conventional electrostatically coated abrasives leave coarser finish profiles.

Key Features

• Microreplication technology forms aluminum oxide particles into uniform abrasive pyramids for consistent cut and finish
• Self-sharpening pyramid structure continuously exposes fresh mineral as the belt wears
• Runs cooler than conventional abrasives, reducing heat buildup at the workpiece surface
• Flexible rayon cloth backing conforms to contoured and curved surfaces
• Three-dimensional abrasive design delivers repeatable finishes in robotic and automated applications
• Produces finer surface profiles than conventional electrostatically coated abrasive belts

Compatibility

Designed as a coated abrasive belt for use on belt finishing machines, stroke sanders, and automated robotic finishing systems that accept 72 inch by 2 inch belts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified finishing equipment operators following the machine manufacturer's belt-change procedure. Power down and lock out the finishing machine before removing the worn belt or installing a new one. Confirm belt tracking and tension settings per the equipment manufacturer's guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the contact wheel or platen for wear or damage that could affect belt performance or cause premature belt failure.
