3M 7010361236 Abrasive Belt 60x25 Inch Ao Cloth

Product Description

The 3M 7010361236 is a Trizact 237AA coated abrasive belt designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing on metal and fabricated components. It uses 3M microreplication technology, where micron-graded aluminum oxide mineral is formed into three-dimensional pyramids and bonded to an X-weight cloth backing. As the pyramids wear during use, fresh sharp mineral is continuously exposed, delivering a consistent cut rate and predictable surface finish from start to finish. The belt measures 60 inches in length and 25 inches in width and weighs approximately 1.61 pounds.

This belt is suited for robotic and automated grinding applications where finish consistency across long production runs is critical. It also performs well in manual finishing operations on contoured metal surfaces. Typical applications include intermediate stock removal and fine polishing steps prior to electroplating or buffing on stainless steel, aluminum, and other metal workpieces. The flexible cloth backing conforms to irregular profiles, making it a practical choice in metal fabrication, aerospace component finishing, and industrial equipment manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• Microreplication technology forms aluminum oxide mineral into self-sharpening three-dimensional pyramids
• Pyramids wear to expose fresh sharp mineral, maintaining consistent cut and finish throughout belt life
• Runs cooler than conventional coated abrasives, reducing heat-related workpiece distortion
• X-weight cloth backing provides flexibility for finishing over contoured surfaces
• Produces finer surface finishes than conventional electrostatically coated abrasive belts
• Three-dimensional abrasive structure delivers repeatable finishes in robotic and automated applications

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinding and finishing machines that accept 60-inch by 25-inch abrasive belts. Suitable for metal fabrication, automated robotic finishing cells, and manual polishing operations prior to plating or buffing.

Installation Notes

Install on a belt grinder or finishing machine rated for the belt dimensions before connecting power. Confirm belt tracking and tension according to the machine manufacturer's specifications before running. Inspect the belt for damage or delamination before each use and replace if the backing shows cuts or the abrasive layer separates. Operators should wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling and installing abrasive belts.
