3M 7010328679 Abrasive Belt 96x3 Inch Ao Rayon Gray

Product Description

The 3M 7010328679 is a Trizact 307EA coated abrasive belt built for intermediate finishing and fine polishing on metal surfaces. It uses 3M microreplication technology, where micron-graded aluminum oxide mineral is formed into precise three-dimensional pyramids and bonded to a flexible rayon cloth backing. The belt measures 96 inches long by 3 inches wide and weighs 0.3 pounds. As the abrasive pyramids wear during use, fresh sharp mineral is continuously exposed, delivering a consistent cut rate and a repeatable fine finish from the start of the belt life to the end. It is installed by metalworking and surface finishing technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This belt is designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing operations ahead of plating, buffing, or final coating. The flexible rayon cloth backing conforms to contoured and irregular surfaces, making it well suited for both flat stock and shaped workpieces. The three-dimensional pyramid structure produces predictable, consistent finishes throughout the belt life, which is particularly valuable in robotic and automated finishing applications where repeatability is critical. It outperforms conventional electrostatically coated abrasives in surface finish quality at comparable grit levels.

Key Features

• Microreplication technology forms aluminum oxide into self-sharpening pyramids that expose fresh mineral as they wear
• Runs cooler than conventional abrasives, reducing heat buildup on workpiece surfaces
• Flexible rayon cloth backing conforms to contoured surfaces for consistent coverage
• Three-dimensional abrasive design delivers repeatable finishes in robotic and automated applications
• Ideal for finishing operations prior to plating or buffing
• Produces finer surface finishes than conventional electrostatically coated belts

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt finishing machines accepting a 96-inch by 3-inch abrasive belt in metalworking, fabrication, and automated surface finishing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and belt changes should be performed by qualified finishing technicians with the machine powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Confirm belt tension and tracking adjustment per the machine manufacturer guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the belt splice and backing for damage before mounting. Do not exceed the belt speed rating specified for the machine and abrasive combination.
