3M 7010363086 Abrasive Belt 168x6 Inch 36 Grit Alumina Zirconia

Product Description

The 3M 7010363086 is a coated abrasive belt designed for high-production grinding, blending, and finishing operations on metal and other substrates. Built around alumina zirconia abrasive grain with a grinding aid, this belt delivers more cutting power than standard aluminum oxide belts, making it well suited for demanding stock removal tasks. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing resists water and holds up under high belt-contact pressure and edge work. At 168 inches long and 6 inches wide with a 36-grit designation, it fits large-format belt grinding equipment used in fabrication and metalworking shops.

This belt is a strong fit for shops working with heat-sensitive metals such as aluminum and stainless steel, where running cool is critical to avoiding workpiece damage. The 577F series is designed for high-pressure applications and edge grinding as well as general flat stock removal. It performs across a range of substrates, making it useful in weld-blending, surface prep, and production deburring setups where consistent cut rate and belt life matter.

Key Features

• Alumina zirconia grain with grinding aid cuts faster than standard aluminum oxide abrasives
• Runs cool, reducing heat buildup on aluminum, stainless steel, and other heat-sensitive metals
• Heavyweight water-resistant polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure and edge grinding applications
• 36-grit designation suited for aggressive stock removal and weld blending
• 168 inch x 6 inch size fits large-format belt grinders common in metal fabrication

Compatibility

Designed for use on large-format belt grinding and finishing machines that accept 168-inch by 6-inch abrasive belts. Suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous metals including stainless steel, aluminum, and mild steel, as well as other substrates compatible with coated abrasive belts.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures. Ensure the grinder is fully de-energized and locked out before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation, and confirm the belt arrow or grain direction marking aligns with the direction of travel specified for the machine. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves during installation and operation.
