3M 7010361613 Abrasive Belt 40 Grit 72x2.5 Inch Green

Product Description

The 3M 7010361613 is a coated abrasive belt designed for high-pressure grinding, blending, and edge work on metal and other substrates. It uses an alumina zirconia mineral with a grinding aid that delivers faster stock removal and longer belt life compared to standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing resists water and holds up under sustained pressure. At 40 grit, this belt is suited for aggressive material removal on production grinding setups. It runs cooler than conventional abrasives, reducing the risk of heat damage on heat-sensitive metals. HVAC fabricators, metal fabricators, and maintenance trades install this belt on stationary and portable belt grinders.

This belt is designed for use in high-production grinding and finishing operations on metals including stainless steel and aluminum. The 40 grit rating makes it appropriate for initial stock removal and surface conditioning on flat stock, pipe, tubing, and structural shapes. Its water-resistant backing allows use in wet or dry grinding environments. The green color indicates the alumina zirconia mineral series. This belt suits industrial maintenance shops, fabrication environments, and mechanical contractors performing structural or equipment work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by equipment operators and maintenance trades familiar with belt grinder safety procedures. Power down and lockout the grinder before changing belts. Confirm belt tracking and tension according to the grinder manufacturer guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or fraying before each use and replace immediately if damage is found.
