3M 7010361386 Abrasive Belt 18.84x3 Inch Ao Cloth

Product Description

The 3M 7010361386 is a Trizact 237AA coated abrasive belt designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing applications. It uses 3M microreplication technology, where micron-graded aluminum oxide particles are formed into three-dimensional pyramids and bonded to an X-weight cloth backing. As the abrasive pyramids wear, fresh mineral is continuously exposed, producing a consistent cut rate and a predictable finish throughout the life of the belt. The belt measures 18.84 inches in length and 3 inches in width and weighs approximately 0.6 pounds.

This belt is used in metalworking finishing operations, including pre-plate and pre-buff preparation on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The flexible cloth backing conforms to contours, making it well-suited for both flat stock and irregular profiles. The three-dimensional abrasive structure supports consistent, repeatable results in robotic and automated grinding setups, as well as hand-fed belt grinder applications. It is typically installed and operated by metalworking fabricators, tool-and-die technicians, and finishing specialists.

Key Features

• Microreplication technology forms aluminum oxide into self-sharpening abrasive pyramids
• Pyramids wear to expose fresh mineral continuously, extending usable belt life
• Runs cooler than conventional coated abrasives, reducing heat-related workpiece distortion
• X-weight cloth backing provides flexibility for contouring over irregular surfaces
• Produces finer finishes than standard electrostatically coated abrasive belts
• Consistent three-dimensional structure supports reliable performance in robotic finishing applications

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and finishing machines that accept 18.84-inch by 3-inch abrasive belts. Suitable for intermediate finishing and fine polishing prior to plating or buffing on metal workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified metalworking or finishing personnel. Confirm the belt grinder is fully de-energized and the drive wheel is at a complete stop before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tensioning per the machine manufacturer guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or edge damage prior to each use.
