3M 7010363455 Abrasive Belt 168x13 Inch 80 Grit Ceramic Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010363455 is a coated abrasive belt designed for high-demand metal grinding and finishing operations. It combines ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure applications without breaking down, and the belt runs effectively both dry and with lubricant. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during use, making it well suited for stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. Licensed tradespeople and fabrication shops use this belt where consistent stock removal and extended belt life are priorities.

This belt fits wide-belt sanders and industrial grinding machines configured for 168-inch by 13-inch belts. It is used in metal fabrication, weld blending, surface conditioning, and finishing operations across job shops, manufacturing facilities, and metalworking trade environments. The 80-grit rating positions it for aggressive stock removal while still leaving a workable surface finish. It performs well on carbon steel, stainless steel, and other ferrous metals where heat management and cut rate both matter.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend delivers faster cut rates and longer service life than conventional aluminum oxide belts
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure grinding and runs wet or dry
• Built-in grinding aid reduces heat generation, extending performance on stainless steel and heat-sensitive alloys
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to maximize belt life between changes
• 80 grit provides aggressive stock removal suitable for weld blending and surface preparation

Compatibility

Designed for wide-belt sanders and industrial abrasive grinding machines that accept 168-inch by 13-inch coated abrasive belts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified machine operators familiar with abrasive belt equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing a belt. Verify belt tracking and tension per the machine manufacturer guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or damage before each use and do not exceed the machine's rated speed for the belt size.
