3M 7010359468 Diamond Abrasive Belt 18.93x2.5 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010359468 is a micron-graded diamond abrasive belt designed for precision grinding and polishing of hard, demanding materials including ceramics, carbide, and cast iron. The abrasive layer consists of diamond particles graded to consistent micron sizes and bonded to an x-weight waterproof cloth backing using a heat-resistant resin bond system. This construction maintains dimensional stability and abrasive performance through extended use cycles. The belt measures 18.93 inches in length and 2.5 inches in width. It is installed and used by machinists, toolroom operators, and precision grinding professionals working with hard-to-grind substrates where conventional aluminum oxide or silicon carbide abrasives underperform.

This belt is suited for wet or dry surface grinding, lapping, and polishing operations on ceramics, cemented carbide tooling, cast iron, and similar hard or brittle materials. The waterproof cloth backing allows use with water-soluble coolants, oil-based lubricants, and other liquid cutting aids, making it appropriate for both bench-top belt grinders and inline production grinding equipment. It is available in a range of grit sizes to support stock removal through final finishing stages.

Key Features

• Micron-graded diamond abrasive mineral delivers consistent finish quality on hard and brittle substrates
• X-weight cloth backing provides high tensile strength and resistance to tearing during extended runs
• Heat-resistant resin bond minimizes thermal damage to the workpiece surface
• Waterproof backing construction is compatible with liquid lubricants and coolants
• 18.93 inch length by 2.5 inch width fits standard belt grinding equipment in that size range

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and polishing machines accepting 18.93 inch by 2.5 inch abrasive belts; suitable for grinding and polishing ceramics, cemented carbide, and cast iron workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or grinding equipment operator. Power down and lock out the belt grinder before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tension per the equipment manufacturer guidelines before resuming operation. Always confirm the belt rotation arrow, if present, is aligned with the drive direction before powering the machine.
