3M 7010359746 Abrasive Belt 60x2.5 Inch 36 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7010359746 is a coated abrasive belt engineered for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than traditional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding without breaking down, and the belt can be run dry or with a liquid lubricant. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during use, making it well suited for stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. Licensed trades and fabrication shops rely on this belt for consistent material removal across extended production runs.

This belt is used in metalworking, fabrication, and finishing environments where high-pressure belt grinding is required. It performs on stainless steel, carbon steel, and other ferrous metals in both wet and dry operating conditions. Typical applications include weld blending, surface conditioning, and aggressive stock removal on flat or contoured workpieces. At 60 inches in length and 2.5 inches in width with a 36 grit rating, it fits standard stationary and portable belt grinders configured for this belt size.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend delivers faster cut rates and longer belt life than straight aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure applications without delaminating
• Runs wet or dry, adding versatility across different shop setups and materials
• Integrated grinding aid reduces heat generation when working stainless steel and heat-sensitive alloys
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend overall belt service life
• Higher parts-per-belt output reduces downtime from frequent belt changes

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and sanders configured for a 60-inch by 2.5-inch belt. Suitable for metal stock removal and finishing applications on ferrous metals including stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive belt equipment. Power down and lock out the grinder before changing belts. Confirm belt tension, tracking, and guard clearance before resuming operation. Follow the equipment manufacturer guidelines and applicable ANSI safety standards for abrasive belt use.
