3M 7010512311 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit Ceramic 8x60 in

Product Description

The 3M 7010512311 is a ceramic coated abrasive belt designed for demanding grinding and finishing applications on metal, composites, and hard materials. It measures 8 inches wide by 60 inches long and runs a 60 grit, medium grade cut suited for stock removal and surface conditioning. The closed-coat construction keeps abrasive density high across the full belt face, delivering consistent cut rate throughout the belt life. A YF-weight polyester cloth backing provides the stiffness and tear resistance needed for high-pressure contact-wheel and platen work. Licensed trade fabricators, weld shops, and industrial maintenance techs are the primary users of this belt.

This belt fits standard 8 inch wide belt grinders and finishing machines configured for 60 inch length. The 784F series ceramic grain is engineered for aggressive material removal on stainless steel, high-nickel alloys, titanium, and hardened steels where aluminum oxide belts load or glaze prematurely. It supports both wet and dry operation, making it compatible with coolant-assisted grinding setups as well as dry-run machines. Sold individually per package; minimum order quantity is 20 units.

Key Features

• Ceramic abrasive grain for fast, cool cutting on hard metals and alloys
• 60 grit medium grade — effective for stock removal and weld blending
• Closed-coat construction maximizes grain coverage for consistent cut rate
• YF-weight polyester cloth backing resists stretching and tearing under load
• Wet and dry rated — compatible with coolant-flood and dry grinding setups
• 784F series designation for consistent performance tracking across orders

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and finishing machines that accept 8 inch wide by 60 inch long abrasive belts. No specific machine model compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Install abrasive belts only with the machine power locked out and the drive system at a full stop. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation, and inspect the belt for tears or delamination before each use. Wear appropriate eye protection and, when dry grinding, respiratory protection per applicable OSHA and shop safety requirements. Wet operation requires that the coolant system be fully functional before engaging the belt under load.
