3M 7010361202 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit Ceramic 242x3 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010361202 is a coated abrasive cloth belt engineered for light to moderate-pressure stock removal, blending, and scratch refinement on contoured and profiled workpieces. It measures 242 inches in length and 3 inches in width, making it suitable for wide-belt and stroke-belt grinding machines. The abrasive layer combines 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain with premium aluminum oxide, producing higher cut rates and longer service life than conventional aluminum oxide belts. An incorporated grinding aid limits heat buildup during aggressive passes on stainless steel and other hard-to-machine alloys, helping to protect workpiece integrity and extend belt life. The flexible rayon backing conforms readily to curved and contoured surfaces, delivering consistent finish across complex geometry.

This belt is suited for metal fabrication, weld blending, surface conditioning, and finishing operations in light manufacturing and job-shop environments. Its ceramic and aluminum oxide blend makes it particularly effective on stainless steel, carbon steel, and exotic alloys where heat management and cut efficiency are critical. Industrial grinding technicians, fabricators, and surface finishing specialists are the primary users. It is sold individually and is designed to drop into existing wide-belt or stroke-belt machine setups that accept a 242-inch by 3-inch belt.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide blend delivers higher durability and cut rate than standard aluminum oxide belts, reducing belt changes per shift
• Flexible rayon backing conforms to contoured and profiled surfaces for uniform finish results
• Integrated grinding aid reduces heat generation during use on stainless steel and exotic metals
• Durable resin bond resists heat-related deterioration, extending overall belt life
• 80 grit rating suited for light to moderate stock removal, blending, and scratch refinement
• Orange color coding aids in quick grit identification during belt changes

Compatibility

Designed for use on wide-belt and stroke-belt abrasive grinding machines that accept a 242-inch by 3-inch coated abrasive belt.

Installation Notes

Installation and belt changes should be performed by qualified machine operators or maintenance technicians familiar with abrasive belt equipment. Disconnect and lock out power to the machine before removing or installing any belt. Verify that belt tracking and tensioning mechanisms are properly adjusted after mounting, and confirm the belt runs true before returning the machine to production. Follow the machine manufacturer's guidelines and applicable workplace safety standards during all belt service operations.
