3M 7010363102 Abrasive Belt 36 Grit 72x2 Inch Alumina Zirconia

Product Description

The 3M 7010363102 is an alumina zirconia coated abrasive belt designed for high-production grinding, blending, and finishing applications. Built on a heavy, water-resistant polyester cloth backing, this belt delivers increased cutting efficiency compared to standard aluminum oxide belts. At 72 inches long and 2 inches wide with a 36-grit abrasive surface, it is sized for demanding edge work and stock removal on metal fabrication equipment. A built-in grinding aid helps the belt run cool, making it suitable for heat-sensitive materials. Weighing 0.49 pounds, each belt is sold individually.

This belt is used in metal fabrication, weld blending, deburring, and heavy stock removal on a range of substrates including aluminum, stainless steel, and carbon steel. The 36-grit designation makes it appropriate for aggressive material removal rather than finishing passes. Typical installations include stationary belt grinders and contact-wheel machines found in production shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance environments. Licensed or journeyman metalworkers and fabricators are the primary users in professional settings.

Key Features

• Alumina zirconia abrasive grain with grinding aid delivers higher cutting power than aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing withstands high-pressure applications and extended edge work
• Water-resistant backing construction supports use in wet or coolant-assisted grinding setups
• Runs cool during operation, reducing heat buildup on heat-sensitive metals such as aluminum and stainless steel
• 36-grit coarseness suited for aggressive stock removal and weld blending
• 72 inch by 2 inch format fits standard contact-wheel and platen-style belt grinders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit abrasive belt for stationary belt grinders and contact-wheel machines accepting a 72 inch by 2 inch belt format.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the equipment manufacturer's instructions. Power down and lock out the grinder before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for cracks or delamination prior to each use and replace immediately if damage is found.
