3M 7010360973 Abrasive Belt P100 60x2.5 Inch Ceramic Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010360973 is a coated abrasive belt engineered for demanding metal stock removal and finishing applications. It combines ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing withstands high-pressure belt grinding, handles heat-sensitive metals without distortion, and runs effectively both dry and with a lubricant. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during stainless steel work, while a durable resin bond resists thermal deterioration to extend usable belt life. This belt measures 60 inches in length and 2.5 inches in width with a P100 grit rating.

This belt is suited for fabrication shops, weld blending, and surface finishing operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is commonly used on contact-wheel and platen belt grinders in both production and job-shop environments. The P100 grit cuts aggressively enough for stock removal while leaving a finish appropriate for intermediate metal finishing steps. Licensed fabricators, tool-and-die shops, and maintenance professionals handling stainless steel, carbon steel, and hard alloys are the primary installers and users of this consumable.
