3M 7010328806 Cloth Band 3x1 in 60 Grit Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7010328806 is a ceramic grain abrasive cloth band built for demanding grinding and finishing applications. Constructed on a durable X-weight cloth backing with resin bonding, it delivers consistent heat resistance during extended use. The ceramic abrasive grain is paired with a grinding aid that reduces heat buildup at the workpiece, allowing faster material removal with less risk of surface discoloration or workpiece damage. This band measures 3 inches wide by 1 inch in diameter and runs at 60 grit, placing it in the coarse range for aggressive stock removal. It is sold individually and typically installed on pneumatic or electric drum sanders and contact-wheel grinders used in metal fabrication shops.

This abrasive band is suited for metalworking environments where heat management and grain durability are priorities. Common applications include deburring, weld blending, and surface conditioning on steel, stainless steel, and other hard metals. The 60-grit ceramic construction handles heavy material removal passes before finishing steps. Fabricators, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians working with portable or bench-mounted drum grinding equipment are the primary installers and users of this product.

Installation Notes

Installation of abrasive bands should be performed by qualified personnel following equipment manufacturer guidelines. Ensure the grinder or drum sander is fully powered down and unplugged before changing abrasive bands. Inspect the drum mandrel for wear or damage before seating the band, and confirm the band is properly seated with no gaps or overlaps before resuming operation. Operators should use appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling abrasive products and operating grinding equipment.
