3M 7100073951 Abrasive Belt 220 Grit 2x72 Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7100073951 is a coated abrasive belt engineered for demanding material removal and finishing applications. Measuring 2 inches wide by 72 inches long, this belt runs on standard belt grinders and finishing machines used across metal fabrication, welding, and maintenance shops. The abrasive material is ceramic, which self-sharpens during use to maintain consistent cut rate. At 220 grit, it falls in the very fine grade range, making it appropriate for finishing passes and surface refinement rather than heavy stock removal. The closed-coat density and JE-weight rayon cloth backing provide durability and conformability across contoured and flat workpieces. The belt supports both wet and dry operation.

This belt is used in metal finishing, deburring, and surface preparation workflows where a consistent fine finish is required. It is suited for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial production environments. The 2-inch by 72-inch format fits a wide range of bench-top and floor-standing belt grinder models. It is part of the 3M 707E series, which is designed for extended belt life and thermal stability during extended grinding cycles. Machinists, welders, and fabricators are the primary installers and users of this product.
