3M 7010511081 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 3x48 Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7010511081 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive stock removal and surface finishing in trade and industrial applications. It measures 3 inches wide by 48 inches long and carries a 60 grit, medium-grade aluminum oxide abrasive on a closed-coat, X-weight cloth backing. The 341D series construction combines a durable cloth backing with a closed-coat mineral layout, delivering consistent cut rate and scratch pattern throughout the belt's service life. This belt is intended for dry operation on stationary or portable belt sanders used by fabricators, pipefitters, and metalworking tradespeople.

The 3M 7010511081 is suited for metal grinding, weld blending, and surface prep work on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 60 grit rating makes it appropriate for initial stock removal and shaping before transitioning to finer grits. The X-weight cloth backing resists tearing under load, making it reliable on high-tension belt sander configurations common in shop and field fabrication environments. It is sold individually and is intended for single-use replacement in standard 3 inches by 48 inches belt sander machines.
