3M 7010360590 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 18x0.5 in Cubitron Ii 947A

Product Description

The 3M 7010360590 is a coated abrasive belt from the Cubitron II 947A series, built with 3M Precision-Shaped Grain technology. Unlike conventional ceramic abrasive grains that gouge and plow through material, Precision-Shaped Grain slices through metal, reducing heat buildup and extending belt life. The belt runs at 60 grit on an X-weight poly-cotton backing, which provides the flexibility needed for contour and flat surface work. A built-in grinding aid reduces friction further, keeping the workpiece cooler during extended grinding cycles. This belt is rated for use on stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum.

This belt is designed for low to medium pressure grinding and finishing applications in metal fabrication, weld blending, and surface prep. It fits belt grinders and portable belt sanding tools that accept an 18-inch length by 1/2-inch width belt. Typical users include metal fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working on stainless steel assemblies, structural steel, and aluminum components where heat control and cut rate both matter.

Key Features

• Precision-Shaped Grain slices metal rather than gouging, improving cut rate and reducing heat
• Grinding aid included for lower friction and cooler cutting action
• X-weight poly-cotton backing offers flexibility for contoured and flat surfaces
• Optimized for low and medium pressure applications
• Suitable for stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum
• Extended service life compared to conventional ceramic abrasive belts

Compatibility

Fits belt grinders and portable abrasive belt tools accepting an 18-inch length by 1/2-inch width belt. Optimized for grinding and finishing stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum workpieces under low to medium contact pressure.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed with the tool unplugged or the air supply disconnected. Verify the arrow on the belt backing aligns with the direction of travel on the machine before tensioning. Inspect the contact wheel and platen for wear or damage before mounting a new belt. Eye protection and appropriate respiratory PPE are required when grinding metal with coated abrasives.
