3M 7010359728 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 24x3 Inch Ao Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7010359728 is a coated abrasive belt engineered for stock removal and metal finishing in demanding shop environments. It combines 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain with aluminum oxide to deliver faster cutting and longer belt life compared to conventional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing is built for high-pressure grinding applications and can be run dry or with a lubricant. At 80 grit, this belt is suited for aggressive material removal on steel, stainless steel, and other metals. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup, making it especially effective on heat-sensitive alloys.

This belt is designed for use on stationary belt grinders and portable belt sanders in industrial, fabrication, and metalworking settings. The 24-inch by 3-inch format fits a wide range of standard belt grinding machines. It is commonly used by metal fabricators, welders, and maintenance technicians for weld blending, surface conditioning, and deburring. The ceramic-aluminum oxide grain blend extends the usable life of each belt, reducing changeover frequency during high-volume production runs. Compatible for use wet or dry depending on the application and machine setup.
