3M 7100052358 Abrasive Belt 577F 132x3 Inch 36 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100052358 is the 577F coated abrasive belt, built for high-production grinding and finishing on metal. It uses an alumina zirconia grain with a grinding aid that cuts faster and runs cooler than standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing resists water and holds up under high belt tension and edge-grinding pressure. At 132 inches long and 3 inches wide with a 36-grit cut, this belt is suited for aggressive stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Licensed trades and metalworking shops use it in production grinder setups where belt life and cut rate directly affect throughput.

This belt fits wide-contact and platen grinder configurations common in fabrication and metal finishing shops. The alumina zirconia abrasive performs well on stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and other heat-sensitive substrates where cooler running temperatures reduce workpiece discoloration and warping. The 36-grit designation places this belt in the coarse-cut category, making it appropriate for weld seam removal, surface conditioning, and heavy deburring tasks. It is sold individually and sized for machines that accept a 132-inch belt length.

Key Features

• Alumina zirconia grain with grinding aid delivers faster cut rates than aluminum oxide
• Runs cool, reducing heat buildup on aluminum, stainless steel, and other heat-sensitive metals
• Heavyweight water-resistant polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure and edge-grinding applications
• 36 grit coarse cut suited for weld removal, heavy deburring, and aggressive stock removal
• 132-inch by 3-inch format fits wide-contact and platen belt grinder configurations

Compatibility

Designed as a coated abrasive belt replacement for belt grinders and finishing machines that accept a 132-inch by 3-inch belt.

Installation Notes

Belt grinder service should be performed by qualified personnel following the machine manufacturer's lockout/tagout procedures before changing belts. Inspect the contact wheel, platen, and tracking components for wear before mounting a new belt. Mount the belt with the arrow on the backing aligned to the direction of travel if marked, and confirm proper tracking before returning the machine to operation. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required during abrasive belt use.
