3M 7010359665 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 2.81 X 3 Inch Ceramic Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010359665 is a coated abrasive belt engineered for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines 3M ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding without breakdown and can run dry or with a lubricant. A built-in grinding aid controls heat buildup, making this belt especially effective on heat-sensitive metals and stainless steel. Fabricators, metalworkers, and finishing technicians use this belt in belt grinder and wide-belt sander applications.

This belt is suited for industrial and fabrication shop environments where throughput and consistent finish quality matter. It performs on carbon steel, stainless steel, and other ferrous metals where heat generation is a concern. The 60-grit grade makes it appropriate for aggressive stock removal and blending passes before finishing steps. The orange-colored belt is sold individually and is intended for professional use in production grinding and finishing operations.
