3M 7010361714 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 3x79 Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7010361714 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry grinding, blending, and finishing on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Part of the 341D series, it features aluminum oxide abrasive grain bonded to a heavy-duty X-weight cloth backing with a closed coat density. The belt measures 3 inches wide by 79 inches long and runs at 80 grit, placing it in the medium grade range. It is suited for stationary belt sanders and portable belt grinding equipment used in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing environments.

This belt is intended for dry operation on standard belt sanding and grinding machinery. The X-weight cloth backing provides the rigidity and durability needed for aggressive material removal passes, while the closed coat aluminum oxide grain pattern delivers consistent scratch patterns across mild steel, stainless, aluminum, and hardwood. Typical users include metal fabricators, welders, millwrights, and maintenance technicians performing surface preparation or weld blending work.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive grain for consistent cutting action on metal and wood
• Closed coat grain pattern for uniform scratch finish and efficient stock removal
• X-weight cloth backing resists tearing under moderate to heavy grinding pressure
• 80 grit medium grade balances material removal with surface finish quality
• Dry operation design for use on standard belt sanding and grinding equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard consumable for belt sanders and belt grinders accepting a 3-inch by 79-inch abrasive belt in dry operation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with abrasive belt equipment. Power down and lock out the sander or grinder before changing belts. Verify belt tracking direction arrows align with machine rotation before starting. Inspect the belt for tears or defects before use and replace immediately if damage is found.
