3M 7010361232 Coated Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 18.84x2 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010361232 is a coated abrasive belt designed for high-demand stock removal and metal finishing applications. It uses a blend of ceramic abrasive grain and aluminum oxide to cut faster and last longer than standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding without breaking down, and the belt runs effectively both dry and with a liquid lubricant. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup, making this belt particularly effective on heat-sensitive metals such as stainless steel. Licensed trade professionals in metal fabrication, weld grinding, and finishing operations will find this belt well-suited to production environments where belt life and cut rate directly affect throughput.

This belt fits belt grinders and finishing machines that accept an 18.84-inch length by 2-inch width abrasive belt. The 80 grit rating positions it for aggressive stock removal and intermediate blending work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is appropriate for both job shop and production floor use, running on stationary belt grinders, slack-section machines, or contact-wheel setups common in metal finishing and fabrication shops.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend delivers faster cut rates and longer service life than traditional aluminum oxide belts
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure applications and resists tearing or delamination
• Runs wet or dry, allowing use with water, oil, or cutting fluids on heat-sensitive metals
• Grinding aid reduces thermal load during stainless steel and alloy grinding, helping maintain workpiece integrity
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend usable belt life in demanding production cycles

Compatibility

Designed for belt grinders and abrasive finishing machines that accept an 18.84-inch by 2-inch coated abrasive belt. Suitable for metal stock removal, weld blending, and surface finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel following the machine manufacturer's belt-change procedure. Power down and lock out the grinder before removing the worn belt and fitting the replacement. Confirm belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Always wear appropriate PPE, including eye protection and gloves, when handling and mounting abrasive belts.
