3M 7010360594 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 18x3/4 Inch Cubitron Ii

Product Description

The 3M 7010360594 is a coated abrasive belt built on the Cubitron II 947A platform, designed for aggressive material removal on metal surfaces. At 18 inches long and 3/4 inch wide, it runs on standard narrow-belt finishing machines used by fabricators and metalworkers. The belt is engineered around 3M Precision-Shaped Grain, a triangular ceramic grain geometry that slices through metal rather than plowing or gouging. This cutting action generates less heat, reduces grinding friction, and extends belt life well beyond conventional ceramic abrasives. A grinding aid is bonded into the construction to further reduce friction and workpiece temperature during operation.

This belt is optimized for low to medium pressure applications. Primary target materials are stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum. It is suited for weld blending, deburring, and surface finishing in fabrication shops, maintenance environments, and production grinding lines where consistent cut rate and part quality on metal workpieces are required. The 120-grit designation positions it for finishing passes after coarser stock-removal stages.

Key Features

• Precision-Shaped Grain geometry slices metal for faster cut rates and lower heat generation
• Integrated grinding aid reduces friction and minimizes heat-related workpiece damage
• X-weight poly-cotton backing provides flexibility for contour and flat surface work
• Optimized for low and medium pressure grinding on stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum
• Extended service life compared to conventional ceramic abrasive belts
• 120 grit for finishing and weld-blending applications

Compatibility

Designed for use on narrow-belt grinders and finishing machines that accept 18 inch by 3/4 inch abrasive belts. Verify machine drive and idler wheel dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Disconnect and lock out power to the belt grinder before changing belts. Confirm belt tracking direction matches the arrow printed on the belt backing before tensioning. Inspect drive and idler wheels for wear or debris that could cause uneven belt loading or premature failure. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling and operating abrasive belts.
