3M 7010363089 Abrasive Belt 132x2 Inch 80 Grit Polyester

Product Description

The 3M 7010363089 is a coated abrasive belt built for high-production grinding and finishing applications where standard aluminum oxide belts fall short. It uses alumina zirconia grain combined with a grinding aid to deliver faster cut rates, lower heat generation, and longer belt life. The backing is a heavyweight, water-resistant polyester cloth that holds up under high-pressure contact and aggressive edge work. This belt measures 132 inches in length and 2 inches in width, runs at 80 grit, and weighs 0.32 pounds. It is designed for licensed trade professionals and production shop operators working in metal fabrication, welding, and surface preparation environments.

This belt is well suited for grinding and blending on heat-sensitive metals including aluminum and stainless steel, where cool-running abrasives reduce the risk of surface discoloration or heat distortion. The alumina zirconia mineral self-sharpens under pressure, making it effective across a range of substrates including carbon steel, alloy steel, and non-ferrous metals. Typical install scenarios include stationary belt grinders, contact-wheel machines, and inline production grinding systems in fabrication shops and field metalwork operations.

Key Features

• Alumina zirconia grain with grinding aid cuts faster than aluminum oxide on comparable materials
• Runs cool, reducing heat buildup on heat-sensitive metals such as aluminum and stainless steel
• Heavyweight water-resistant polyester cloth backing withstands high-pressure and edge grinding applications
• Self-sharpening mineral maintains consistent cut rate throughout belt life
• 80 grit rating suited for aggressive stock removal and weld blending

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style coated abrasive belt for 2-inch-wide belt grinder machines and contact-wheel systems requiring a 132-inch belt length at 80 grit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive belt machinery. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing a belt. Confirm belt tracking and tension according to the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears, fraying, or delamination before each use and do not operate a damaged belt.
