3M 7010364868 Abrasive Belt 118x3 Inch Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7010364868 is a Trizact 307EA coated abrasive belt designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing in metalworking and fabrication applications. It uses proprietary microreplication technology in which micron-graded aluminum oxide particles are formed into precisely shaped pyramids and bonded to a flexible rayon cloth backing. As the pyramids wear during use, fresh sharp mineral is continuously exposed, delivering a consistent cut rate and a predictable fine surface finish throughout the life of the belt. The belt measures 118 inches in length and 3 inches in width and weighs approximately 0.34 pounds.

This belt is suited for robotic and automated grinding setups where finish consistency across long production runs is critical. It is also used in manual and semi-automated finishing operations on contoured metal parts prior to electroplating, buffing, or coating. The flexible rayon backing conforms to curved and irregular surfaces, making it appropriate for complex geometry work where flat-platen methods fall short. Typical users include metal fabricators, aerospace grinding operations, and industrial finishing shops.

Key Features

• Microreplication technology forms aluminum oxide into self-sharpening abrasive pyramids for consistent cut throughout belt life
• Flexible rayon cloth backing conforms to contoured and irregular surfaces
• Runs cooler than conventional coated abrasives, reducing heat distortion risk on workpieces
• Produces finer finishes than electrostatically coated abrasive belts of comparable grit
• Three-dimensional pyramid structure maintains predictable finish results in robotic and automated applications
• Suitable for intermediate finishing and fine polishing prior to plating or buffing

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and finishing machines that accept 118-inch by 3-inch abrasive belts; verify contact wheel and platen clearances before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified metalworking or maintenance personnel following the machine manufacturer's belt-change procedure. Power down and lock out the grinder before removing the worn belt or installing a new one. Confirm belt tracking direction matches the arrow marked on the belt backing before running at speed. Inspect contact wheels and platens for wear or damage prior to mounting a new belt.
