3M 7010363088 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 72x2 Inch Alumina Zirconia

Product Description

The 3M 7010363088 is an alumina zirconia coated abrasive belt designed for high-production grinding, blending, and finishing operations. It features a heavy polyester cloth backing that holds up under high-pressure contact and resists moisture, making it well suited for demanding edge work and contour grinding. The alumina zirconia mineral is paired with a grinding aid that reduces heat buildup, allowing reliable use on heat-sensitive metals such as aluminum and stainless steel. At 60 grit, this belt delivers aggressive stock removal while maintaining consistent cut rate over the life of the belt.

This belt is used in metal fabrication shops, welding operations, and industrial finishing environments where aluminum oxide belts are outpaced by harder or more abrasive materials. It is a practical choice for licensed trades and production professionals who run high-contact-pressure applications, angle grinder attachments, or stationary belt grinders. The water-resistant backing helps extend belt life in wet or coolant-assisted grinding setups. Each belt measures 72 inches in length and 2 inches in width, fitting standard narrow-belt machines configured for that size.

Key Features

• Alumina zirconia mineral with grinding aid cuts faster than aluminum oxide and runs cooler on heat-sensitive metals
• Heavy polyester cloth backing resists moisture and withstands high-pressure contact and edge work
• 60 grit rating delivers aggressive stock removal for initial grinding and weld blending
• Versatile construction performs on steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other metal substrates
• Each belt sold individually; minimum order quantity applies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit abrasive belt for standard narrow-belt grinding machines and contact-wheel setups configured for a 72-inch by 2-inch belt size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the grinder or belt machine in use. Power down and lock out the machine before changing belts, following OSHA lockout-tagout procedures. Confirm belt tracking and tension adjustments before resuming operation. Check that the belt direction arrow, if present, aligns with the machine's drive wheel rotation.
