3M 7010360789 Abrasive Cloth Belt 60x37 Inch 60 Grit Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010360789 is a coated abrasive cloth belt designed for grinding, blending, deburring, and finishing operations on metal surfaces, including stainless steel. It measures 60 inches in length and 37 inches in width, making it well-suited for wide-format belt applications. The belt uses aluminum oxide abrasive grains bonded to a tough polyester backing with a heat-resistant resin coating. This construction delivers consistent cut rates and durability under pressure, heat, and wet conditions. It is installed and used by metal fabricators and industrial grinding technicians working on sheet and coil finishing lines or backstand and centerless grinder setups.

This belt is primarily used in medium-pressure metal finishing applications. It performs on carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel surfaces. Typical use cases include stainless steel coil finishing, sheet grinding, centerless grinding, and backstand operations. The polyester backing provides the flexibility required to conform through these high-demand cycles while maintaining abrasive integrity. The belt is rated for both wet and dry use, which broadens its range of applicable finishing environments and coolant-assisted processes.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive grains for fast cutting on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Tough polyester backing built for consistent results in medium-pressure applications
• Heat-resistant resin bonding layer maintains abrasive adhesion under pressure, heat, and water exposure
• Suitable for wet and dry operation
• Designed for stainless steel coil finishing, sheet grinding, centerless, and backstand applications

Compatibility

Designed for use on wide-format belt grinders and finishing machines that accept a 60-inch by 37-inch abrasive cloth belt in centerless, backstand, and coil finishing configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's belt-tensioning and tracking guidelines. Power down and de-energize the grinder or finishing machine completely before changing the belt. Inspect the contact wheel and platen for wear or debris before seating the new belt. Verify belt tracking at low speed before returning the machine to full operating load.
