3M 7010361589 Abrasive Belt 78.5x3 Inch 36 Grit Alumina Zirconia

Product Description

The 3M 7010361589 is an alumina zirconia coated abrasive belt designed for high-pressure grinding, blending, and edge work on metal substrates. Measuring 78.5 inches long by 3 inches wide with a 36-grit coarseness, it delivers aggressive stock removal on demanding applications where standard aluminum oxide belts lose cutting efficiency too quickly. The belt uses a heavyweight, water-resistant polyester cloth backing that resists tearing and stretching under sustained pressure. A grinding aid incorporated into the mineral mix helps the belt run cooler, making it suitable for heat-sensitive metals. Fabricators, weld shops, and metalworking production lines are the primary users of this belt format.

This belt is suited for flat and contour grinding on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and aluminum. The 78.5-inch length and 3-inch width fit wide-belt sanders and industrial grinders common in metal fabrication and sheet metal shops. The 36-grit rating makes it appropriate for initial weld seam removal, surface conditioning, and heavy stock removal passes before finishing with finer grits. Water-resistant construction allows use in wet or dry grinding setups.

Key Features

• Alumina zirconia abrasive grain with grinding aid cuts faster than aluminum oxide on metal
• Heavy polyester cloth backing withstands high-pressure and edge-grinding applications
• Cool-running formulation suitable for heat-sensitive metals such as aluminum and stainless steel
• Water-resistant backing supports both wet and dry grinding environments
• 36-grit coarseness for aggressive stock removal and weld seam grinding

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or production-supply abrasive belt for wide-belt sanders and industrial grinders accepting a 78.5-inch by 3-inch belt in 36 grit.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified personnel with the grinder or sander powered off and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or separation before each use and replace immediately if damage is found. Do not exceed the rated operating speed of the machine or the belt.
