3M 7010361257 Coated Abrasive Belt 36 Grit 11x1 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010361257 is a coated abrasive belt designed for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines 3M ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than traditional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester backing handles high-pressure grinding without breaking down. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat generation, making it well-suited for work on stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. The belt can be run dry or with a liquid lubricant, giving technicians flexibility across different grinding setups. Licensed trades and metalworking shops use this belt for weld blending, deburring, and surface conditioning on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This belt is sized at 11 inches in length and 1 inch in width, making it suitable for narrow contact-wheel and file-belt grinder applications. The 36-grit aluminum oxide ceramic blend removes material aggressively while still leaving a consistent surface finish. The orange color coding helps operators track grit stages across a shop. It performs well in high-heat environments where standard aluminum oxide belts degrade quickly, and the resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend usable belt life.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cut rate and extended belt life compared to standard aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight polyester backing supports high-pressure applications and runs wet or dry
• Built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup when working stainless steel and heat-sensitive metals
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration for longer service life
• 36 grit for aggressive stock removal and weld blending
• Orange color coding for easy grit-stage identification in multi-belt operations

Compatibility

Designed for use on narrow contact-wheel grinders and file belt machines accepting 11-inch by 1-inch coated abrasive belts. Suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous metal grinding, weld blending, deburring, and surface finishing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive belt grinder safety procedures. Confirm the grinder is de-energized and fully stopped before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Always wear appropriate eye and hand protection and follow applicable ANSI and OSHA abrasive safety standards when operating belt grinders.
