3M 7010516346 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 6x79 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7010516346 is a coated abrasive belt designed for dry material removal applications in industrial and trade environments. Measuring 6 inches wide by 79 inches long, this belt runs on compatible belt sanders and finishing machines. It uses aluminum oxide abrasive grain at 80 grit, placing it in the medium grade range. The closed coat density ensures consistent grain coverage across the full belt surface, which supports uniform stock removal and a predictable finish. A heavy-duty X-weight cloth backing gives the belt flexibility and tensile strength to hold up under sustained use. HVAC, metal fabrication, and woodworking tradespeople are the primary users.

This belt is suited for dry sanding and grinding operations on metal, wood, and composite materials. The 341D series designation identifies it as part of a structured line of industrial abrasive products built for power belt sanders in production or service shop settings. Its 6 x 79 inch format fits wide-belt machines and floor-model sanders commonly found in trade shops and mechanical service bays. It is sold individually.
