3M 7010360589 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 24x0.25 in Cubitron Ii

Product Description

The 3M 7010360589 is a Cubitron II 947A coated abrasive belt engineered for fast, cool cutting on metal surfaces. It uses 3M Precision-Shaped Grain technology, which slices through material rather than gouging or plowing, delivering faster stock removal with less applied pressure. The X-weight poly-cotton backing provides flexibility suited to contoured and flat workpiece surfaces. This belt measures 24 inches in length and 1/4 inch in width and is offered in 60 grit. A built-in grinding aid reduces friction and lowers heat buildup during grinding, helping protect the workpiece from heat-related distortion or discoloration. It is intended for low to medium pressure metalworking applications.

This belt is optimized for use on stainless steel, mild steels, and aluminum. It fits narrow belt grinders and file belt sanders commonly used in fabrication shops, weld grinding operations, and metal finishing lines. The 60 grit designation makes it suitable for aggressive stock removal and weld blending rather than fine finishing. Tradespeople and fabricators working in sheet metal, structural steel, or stainless food-service equipment fabrication will find this belt well-matched to those material removal tasks.

Key Features

• Precision-Shaped Grain slices metal rather than gouging, reducing pressure needed for material removal
• Grinding aid included to minimize friction and lower cutting temperature
• Cool cutting action reduces risk of heat-related damage or discoloration to the workpiece
• X-weight poly-cotton backing delivers flexibility for varied surface profiles
• Rated for low and medium pressure applications on stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum
• Lasts up to 4 times longer than conventional ceramic abrasive belts

Compatibility

Designed for use on stainless steel, mild steels, and aluminum in low to medium pressure grinding and finishing applications on narrow belt and file belt grinder platforms.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator with the grinder powered off and unplugged. Confirm belt tracking direction against the arrow marked on the belt backing before tensioning. Inspect the platen, contact wheel, and idler for wear or debris before mounting a new belt. Follow ANSI B11.9 safety guidelines for belt grinder operation and ensure appropriate eye, face, and hand PPE is worn during use.
