3M 7010360824 Abrasive Belt 100 Grit 6x48 Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7010360824 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive stock removal and surface finishing on a variety of materials. Built on a heavy X-weight cloth backing with open-coat aluminum oxide abrasive, this belt measures 6 inches wide by 48 inches long and cuts at 100 grit, placing it in the fine grade range. The open-coat construction reduces loading and helps extend belt life during dry grinding and finishing operations. It is suited for use on metal, wood, and composites by fabricators, machinists, and finishing technicians working with stationary or handheld belt sanders.

This belt is intended for dry-operation belt sanding applications in fabrication shops, metalworking facilities, woodworking operations, and general maintenance environments. The 340D series designation identifies it as part of a structured product line built for consistent cut rate and finish quality across high-contact sanding tasks. The 6 by 48 inch format fits a wide range of standard belt sander configurations common in trade and production settings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by the equipment operator or maintenance technician following the belt sander manufacturer's belt-change procedure. Ensure the sander is fully powered off and unplugged before replacing the belt. Verify belt tracking direction — most abrasive belts are directional and should be installed with the arrow on the backing aligned to the machine's drive direction. Confirm the belt seats properly on all platens and contact wheels before resuming operation.
