3M 7010513516 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 25x60 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7010513516 is a coated abrasive belt designed for heavy-duty grinding, blending, and finishing applications across metal fabrication, welding cleanup, and industrial surface prep. Measuring 25 inches wide by 60 inches long, this belt runs on wide-belt sanders and large-format abrasive machinery common in fabrication shops and production environments. The 60-grit aluminum oxide grain delivers medium-grade stock removal, making it well suited for cutting through mill scale, weld spatter, and rough surface irregularities. The open-coat construction reduces loading and helps the belt run cooler and longer under dry operating conditions. Cloth backing with an X-weight designation provides the flexibility and tensile strength needed to withstand the tension and tracking demands of wide-belt machines.

This abrasive belt is used in industrial and commercial fabrication environments where wide-belt sanders or combination machines handle large surface areas. Typical applications include structural steel preparation, plate and sheet metal blending, wood panel sanding in millwork operations, and general-purpose surface conditioning. The Series 340D designation identifies the abrasive product line within the 3M coated abrasive range. Dry operation only — do not use with cutting fluids or water.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use on wide-belt abrasive machines that accept 25 x 60 inch coated abrasive belts operating under dry conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machine operator or maintenance technician familiar with wide-belt sanding equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before changing the belt. Verify belt tracking, tension, and direction-of-travel arrow alignment before resuming operation. Follow the equipment manufacturer's guidelines for belt tension specifications and safe operating speed.
