3M 7100073952 Abrasive Belt 72x2 Inch P120 Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7100073952 is a coated abrasive cloth belt designed for light to moderate-pressure stock removal, blending, and finishing on contoured surfaces. It combines ceramic abrasive grain with premium aluminum oxide to deliver higher cut rates and longer service life compared to standard aluminum oxide belts. The flexible rayon backing conforms to curved and contoured workpieces, making it well suited for consistent finishing results across irregular profiles. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during use, which is particularly important when working on stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals.

This belt is used in industrial grinding and finishing operations where belt conformability and extended wear life matter. Typical applications include blending, scratch refinement, and stock removal on metal fabrication workpieces, including stainless steel and exotic alloys. It fits standard belt grinders and finishing machines configured for 72-inch by 2-inch belts. Fabricators, metalworkers, and finishing technicians are the primary installers and users of this product.
