3M 7010365064 Abrasive Belt P120 Grit 18x3 Inch Ceramic Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010365064 is a coated abrasive cloth belt designed for stock removal and metal finishing applications in fabrication, maintenance, and manufacturing environments. It uses a blend of ceramic abrasive grain and aluminum oxide to deliver faster cutting action and longer service life compared to conventional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure grinding and can be run dry or with lubricant, making it suited for both production and precision finishing work. A built-in grinding aid helps control heat generation, which is especially relevant when working stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals.

This belt is intended for use on stationary or portable belt grinders in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial production environments. It is well-suited for weld removal, surface conditioning, and blending on carbon steel, stainless steel, and similar ferrous metals. The P120 grit level targets intermediate-to-fine stock removal and surface preparation stages. Licensed tradespeople and skilled production grinders are the primary installers and users of this belt type.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cut rate and extended belt life versus standard aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing withstands high contact pressure without backing breakdown
• Compatible with wet or dry grinding setups
• Integrated grinding aid reduces frictional heat buildup when finishing stainless steel and heat-sensitive metals
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend usable belt life
• Higher parts-per-belt yield reduces changeover frequency in production settings

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard 18-inch by 3-inch abrasive cloth belts used on belt grinders and finishing machines that accept that size.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive belt equipment. Confirm the machine is fully powered down and locked out before removing or mounting a belt. Verify the belt tracking direction arrow aligns with grinder wheel rotation before startup. Inspect the contact wheel and platen for wear or damage that could cause uneven belt loading.
