3M 7010360360 Coated Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 60x1 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010360360 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive stock removal and metal finishing applications. It uses a blend of 3M ceramic abrasive grain and aluminum oxide, a combination that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding without breakdown and can be run dry or with lubricant. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup, making this belt well suited for stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. Metalworking fabricators, weld grinding technicians, and maintenance machinists are the primary users of this product.

This belt is used in metal fabrication shops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance operations where consistent stock removal and surface finishing are required. It performs well on stainless steel, carbon steel, and other ferrous metals in both dry and wet grinding setups. Its 60-inch length and 1-inch width fit standard contact-wheel and platen belt grinders configured for that size. The orange-colored belt is easy to identify during belt changes in production environments.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cutting and longer service life than standard aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure applications without delamination
• Runs wet or dry, providing flexibility across grinding setups
• Grinding aid reduces heat generation, extending belt life on stainless steel and heat-sensitive metals
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration for sustained cutting performance
• Produces more parts per belt compared to traditional aluminum oxide, reducing changeover frequency

Compatibility

Designed for use on contact-wheel and platen belt grinders accepting a 60-inch by 1-inch abrasive belt. Suitable for stock removal and finishing on ferrous metals including stainless steel and carbon steel.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the grinder manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing the belt. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or edge damage prior to each use.
