3M 7010360600 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 72x2 Inch Cubitron Ii

Product Description

The 3M 7010360600 is a coated abrasive belt built on the Cubitron II 947A platform, designed for high-efficiency grinding and finishing on metal surfaces. It uses 3M Precision-Shaped Grain technology, which slices through material rather than plowing or gouging, resulting in faster stock removal with less applied pressure. The X-weight poly-cotton backing provides flexibility suited to contoured or flat workpiece contact. At 80 grit, this belt targets aggressive material removal while still producing a consistent finish. The belt measures 72 inches in length and 2 inches in width. A built-in grinding aid reduces friction and keeps the cutting action cooler, reducing the risk of heat-related workpiece damage.

This belt is optimized for low- to medium-pressure grinding applications on stainless steel, mild steels, and aluminum. It is well suited to fabrication shops, weld blending, deburring, and surface prep work where throughput and belt life are priorities. The 947A designation targets operators looking to reduce belt changeouts and maintain consistent cut rates across production runs on metalworking equipment.

Key Features

• Precision-Shaped Grain slices through metal rather than gouging, reducing cut time and pressure required
• Grinding aid included to lower friction and keep cutting temperatures down
• X-weight poly-cotton backing offers flexibility for varied contact applications
• 80 grit rating targets aggressive stock removal on stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum
• Designed for extended belt life compared to conventional ceramic abrasive belts
• Optimized for low- to medium-pressure grinding setups

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard belt grinding and finishing machines that accept 72 inch by 2 inch abrasive belts, with applications on stainless steel, mild steels, and aluminum workpieces.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified personnel following the equipment manufacturer's guidelines for belt tensioning and tracking. Power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing any abrasive belt. Inspect the belt for tears, edge damage, or joint separation before use. Ensure belt direction arrows, if present, align with the machine's drive direction.
