3M 7010362977 Abrasive Belt 18x3 Inch 60 Grit Alumina Zirconia

Product Description

The 3M 7010362977 is a coated abrasive belt designed for demanding grinding, blending, and finishing work on metal and other substrates. Built with alumina zirconia abrasive grain and a grinding aid, it delivers faster cut rates and longer service life compared to standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing resists moisture and holds up under high contact pressure, making it well suited for edge work and aggressive stock removal. At 18 inches long and 3 inches wide with a 60 grit rating, this belt targets applications where efficient material removal is the priority.

This belt is used in metal fabrication, welding shops, and production grinding environments. The 60 grit cut is appropriate for initial weld blending, surface prep, and heavy stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals including stainless steel and aluminum. The alumina zirconia mineral runs cooler than standard abrasives, reducing the risk of heat discoloration or warping on heat-sensitive workpieces. Licensed metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance machinists are the primary installers and users.
