3M 7010361461 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 11 5/8 X 5.37 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010361461 is a coated abrasive cloth belt engineered for stock removal and metal finishing in demanding shop and fabrication environments. It uses a blend of ceramic abrasive grain and aluminum oxide that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester backing is built to handle high-pressure contact-wheel and platen applications. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat generation during use, making this belt well-suited for grinding heat-sensitive metals including stainless steel. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals will find this belt appropriate for production grinding, weld blending, and surface prep work.

This belt is designed for use on stationary belt grinders and portable belt sanders in metal fabrication, maintenance, and finishing operations. It is particularly effective in applications where heat buildup is a concern, such as stainless steel grinding, and can be run dry or with a water-based or oil-based lubricant depending on the application. The 80 grit designation places it in the coarse-to-medium range, suited for aggressive material removal before transitioning to finer finishing stages.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cutting and extended belt life compared to aluminum oxide alone
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure grinding on contact wheels and platens
• Built-in grinding aid reduces friction heat, improving performance on stainless steel and heat-sensitive metals
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend usable belt life
• Can be run wet or dry, adding flexibility across different workpiece and coolant conditions
• 80 grit for aggressive stock removal and weld blending ahead of finer finishing passes

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement belt for stationary belt grinders and portable belt sanders accepting an 11 5/8 inch by 5.37 inch abrasive belt.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator with the machine fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation, and confirm the belt arrow direction matches the grinder rotation direction. Inspect the contact wheel and platen for wear or damage before mounting a new belt. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required during operation.
