3M 7010359745 Abrasive Belt 120x3 Inch 36 Grit Ao Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7010359745 is a coated abrasive cloth belt designed 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 traditional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester backing handles high-pressure grinding and can be run dry or with lubricant, making it suited for use on stainless steel, carbon steel, and other metals where heat control matters. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup at the workpiece, which is especially useful when working heat-sensitive alloys. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators in metal shops rely on this belt for consistent, repeatable finishing results.

This belt is sized at 120 inches long by 3 inches wide with a 36-grit aluminum oxide ceramic blend and is intended for use on wide belt grinders, polishing lines, and stationary belt grinding machines found in industrial and commercial fabrication environments. It is well suited for heavy-duty weld removal, surface conditioning, and coarse finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The orange-colored backing helps operators identify grit and grade at a glance during fast-paced production runs.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend delivers faster cut rate and longer belt life than standard AO belts
• Heavyweight polyester backing supports high-pressure applications without delaminating
• Runs wet or dry, giving operators flexibility based on material and machine setup
• Integrated grinding aid reduces heat generation when grinding stainless steel and heat-sensitive metals
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend service life and reduce belt change frequency

Compatibility

Designed for use on stationary and inline belt grinding machines that accept 120-inch by 3-inch abrasive cloth belts in metal finishing and stock removal applications.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified personnel following the grinder manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure the machine is fully de-energized and locked out before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required when operating abrasive belt equipment.
