3M 7010360596 Cubitron Ii 947A Abrasive Belt 80 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7010360596 is a coated abrasive belt from the Cubitron II 947A line, engineered for metal grinding and finishing applications. It uses 3M Precision-Shaped Grain technology, which slices through metal rather than gouging or plowing, resulting in faster material removal at lower applied pressure. The X-weight poly-cotton backing provides flexibility suited for contoured and flat surfaces. At 80 grit, this belt is designed for aggressive stock removal on stainless steel, mild steels, and aluminum, and is well-suited for use with standard belt grinders and file belt tools in fabrication and manufacturing environments.

This belt is optimized for low and medium pressure applications. The 947A construction includes a grinding aid that reduces friction and keeps cutting temperatures lower, reducing the risk of heat-related discoloration or metallurgical damage to the workpiece. It is used in metal fabrication shops, weld blending operations, and finishing lines where surface quality and throughput both matter. The belt measures 11 inches in length and 1 inch in width, making it compatible with narrow belt tools and file belt sanders commonly used by metalworkers and fabricators.

Key Features

• Precision-Shaped Grain slices metal for faster, cooler cuts compared to conventional ceramic abrasives
• Grinding aid included to reduce friction and lower cutting temperatures
• X-weight poly-cotton backing engineered for flexibility on varied workpiece profiles
• Optimized for low and medium pressure grinding on stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum
• Designed to last up to 4 times longer than conventional ceramic belts
• 80 grit for aggressive stock removal and weld blending

Compatibility

Designed for use on stainless steel, mild steels, and aluminum in low and medium pressure grinding applications. Fits standard 1 inch by 11 inch belt grinder and file belt tool configurations.

Installation Notes

Abrasive belts of this type are installed and changed by metalworkers and fabricators using standard belt grinder tooling. Power down and de-energize the grinder before changing belts. Inspect the belt for tears or edge damage before mounting. Ensure proper tracking adjustment after installation to prevent belt drift and premature edge wear.
