3M 7010361437 Abrasive Belt 72x2.5 Inch 60 Grit Ceramic Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010361437 is a coated abrasive belt designed for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide to deliver faster cutting action and longer service life compared to standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding without breaking down, and the belt runs dry or with a lubricant depending on the application. A built-in grinding aid controls heat buildup, making this belt well suited for stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. The durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend belt life.

This belt measures 72 inches in length and 2.5 inches in width with a 60-grit cut, placing it in the medium-to-coarse range for aggressive material removal and surface preparation. It is used in industrial fabrication shops, metalworking facilities, and maintenance environments. Typical applications include weld blending, deburring, and general metal finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The belt is suited for use on stationary belt grinders and contact wheel machines operated by metalworking and fabrication professionals.
