3M 7010364849 Abrasive Belt 168x6 Inch Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7010364849 is a Trizact 217EA coated abrasive belt designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing on metal surfaces. It uses proprietary microreplication technology in which micron-graded aluminum oxide particles are formed into uniform pyramidal structures and bonded to a JE-weight rayon cloth backing. As the pyramid tips wear, fresh, sharp mineral is continuously exposed. This produces a consistent cut rate and a predictable, fine surface finish across the full service life of the belt. It is installed and used by metalworking fabricators, finishing technicians, and automated grinding line operators.

This belt is suited for intermediate stock removal and pre-plate or pre-buff finishing on metal workpieces. The flexible JE-weight rayon backing conforms to contoured and irregular surfaces, making it effective for both flat and shaped part finishing. Its consistency and long abrasive life make it a reliable choice for robotic and automated finishing applications where repeatable results are required. It performs best under light contact pressure, which allows the abrasive structure to break down at a controlled rate and maintain cut consistency.

Key Features

• Microreplicated aluminum oxide pyramids continuously expose fresh mineral as they wear, maintaining consistent cut rate throughout belt life
• JE-weight rayon cloth backing conforms to contoured surfaces for uniform finishing results
• Suitable for robotic and automated finishing applications due to high consistency and predictable abrasive life
• Designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing prior to plating or buffing operations
• Performs under light contact pressure, allowing controlled abrasive breakdown and consistent finish quality
• Integrated grinding aid helps reduce heat buildup, minimizing risk of workpiece warping or discoloration

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt finishing machines that accept 168 inch by 6 inch abrasive belts. Suitable for metalworking applications including finishing stainless steel, carbon steel, and non-ferrous alloys prior to plating or buffing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified finishing equipment operators or maintenance technicians. Power down and lock out the belt finishing machine before mounting or replacing the abrasive belt. Confirm belt tension and tracking per the equipment manufacturer's guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or edge damage before each use.
