3M 7010368568 Surface Conditioning Belt 18x3/4 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010368568 is a non-woven surface conditioning abrasive belt designed for one-step workpiece preparation before final finishes and coatings. Measuring 18 inches long by 3/4 inch wide, it uses aluminum oxide (AO) abrasive on a reinforced composite (RC) backing. The RC backing delivers enhanced edge durability and flexibility, making this belt effective across a range of material removal tasks including deburring, blending, cleaning, and light finishing. It is suited for use on composites and softer metals and is a practical choice where consistent cut rate across the full belt life matters.

This belt fits applications in metal fabrication, welding prep, and general surface conditioning workflows. It performs well on flat surfaces and is an effective starting point for finishing stainless steel to a No. 4 finish. The 18 inch by 3/4 inch form factor suits narrow-contact and file-style belt tools commonly used in shop and field environments. Minimum order quantity is 10 belts per unit of measure.

Key Features

• Aluminum oxide abrasive on RC backing for good initial and extended cut rate
• Enhanced edge durability and flexibility for consistent performance
• Effective starting point for finishing stainless steel to a No. 4 finish
• Handles deburring, blending, coating removal, and light finishing in one step
• Most efficient on flat surfaces and suited for average-pressure usage
• Non-woven construction for conformability on composites and softer metals

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement abrasive belt for narrow-contact and file-style belt sanders accepting an 18 inch by 3/4 inch non-woven belt.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and tool mounting should be performed by a qualified operator following the tool manufacturer's instructions and applicable ANSI safety standards for abrasive products. Verify belt tracking and tension before operation. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling abrasive belts and operating grinding or finishing equipment. Inspect the belt for tears or damage before each use and replace immediately if any defects are found.
