3M 7010361606 Abrasive Belt 48x2 Inch 100 Grit Alumina Zirconia

Product Description

The 3M 7010361606 is an alumina zirconia coated abrasive belt engineered for high-production grinding and finishing applications where standard aluminum oxide belts fall short. The alumina zirconia grain, combined with a grinding aid, delivers faster cutting action and longer belt life on demanding materials including stainless steel, aluminum, and carbon steel. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing resists moisture and withstands the sustained pressure and heat generated in edge work and contour grinding. Licensed trade professionals and fabrication shops install and operate this belt on stationary and portable belt grinders.

This belt measures 48 inches in length and 2 inches in width, making it suitable for a range of bench and pedestal belt grinder configurations common in metal fabrication, welding shops, and HVAC sheet metal work. The 100 grit designation places it in the medium range, appropriate for blending welds, removing scale, and deburring edges before finish grinding. Its cool-running characteristic makes it a reliable choice for heat-sensitive metals where discoloration or warping from excess heat is a concern.

Key Features

• Alumina zirconia abrasive grain with grinding aid cuts faster than aluminum oxide on hard metals
• Heavyweight water-resistant polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding and edge work
• Cool-running formula reduces heat buildup on heat-sensitive metals such as aluminum and stainless steel
• 100 grit provides medium stock removal suitable for weld blending, scale removal, and deburring
• 48 x 2 inch dimensions fit standard bench and pedestal belt grinder setups

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders accepting a 48 inch by 2 inch abrasive belt. Suitable for grinding and finishing stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, and other metal substrates.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified personnel following the grinder manufacturer's guidelines. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or replacing the belt. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or splice separation before each use and replace immediately if damage is found.
