3M 7010368294 Surface Conditioning Belt 48x2 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010368294 is a standard abrasives surface conditioning belt designed for one-step workpiece preparation ahead of final finishes and coatings. Built on a non-woven scrim (RC) backing with aluminum oxide abrasive, it delivers good initial cut rate along with extended cut life. The belt measures 48 inches in length and 2 inches in width, making it suited to belt-finishing machines common in metal fabrication and composite finishing shops. Fabricators, weld finishers, and surface prep technicians use this belt for deburring, blending, cleaning, and light finishing in a single pass.

This belt is intended for use on flat surfaces where consistent, controlled material removal is required. It performs well on composites and softer metals, and serves as a reliable starting point for finishing stainless steel to a No. 4 finish. Enhanced edge durability and flexibility allow the belt to conform to workpiece geometry without premature breakdown at the edges. The aluminum oxide grain on RC material is rated for general use at average operating pressures, making it a practical choice for production and job-shop environments alike.
