3M 7010511142 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 1-1/2 X 24 in

Product Description

The 3M 7010511142 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry grinding, blending, and finishing operations on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Built on a Series 341D platform, it uses aluminum oxide grain bonded to an X-weight cloth backing with a closed coat density. The belt measures 1-1/2 inches wide by 24 inches long and runs at 80 grit, placing it in the medium grade range. The X-weight cloth backing provides durability under moderate to heavy pressure, making it a reliable choice for benchtop belt sanders and portable finishing equipment in trade shop environments.

This belt is suited for metal fabrication shops, HVAC ductwork finishing, plumbing pipe deburring, and general surface prep work where a consistent medium-grit cut is needed. At 80 grit, it removes material efficiently while leaving a finish that is ready for finer stages of abrasive work. It is a dry-operation belt and should not be used with water or cutting fluids.

Key Features

• 80 grit aluminum oxide abrasive for medium-grade material removal
• Closed coat density delivers consistent scratch pattern across the belt surface
• X-weight cloth backing resists tearing under moderate to heavy load

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or consumable abrasive belt for belt sanders accepting a 1-1/2 inch by 24 inch belt size. Verify tool specifications before ordering to confirm belt dimensions match the platen and drive roller of your sander.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed with the sander powered off and unplugged. Confirm belt tracking direction arrows align with sander drive direction before startup. Inspect the platen and idler roller for wear before mounting a new belt. Worn rollers or platens can cause premature belt failure or uneven material removal.
