3M 7100093079 Abrasive Belt 158x6 Inch 80 Grit Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7100093079 is a coated abrasive cloth belt designed for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain with aluminum oxide to deliver faster cutting and longer service life compared to standard aluminum oxide belts. The belt measures 158 inches in length and 6 inches in width, with an 80 grit rating suited for aggressive material removal. A durable resin bond resists heat deterioration, and a built-in grinding aid helps manage heat buildup when working stainless steel. Licensed trades and fabrication shops rely on this belt for high-throughput grinding on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

This belt is used in industrial and commercial metalworking environments where high-pressure grinding is routine. It is well suited for surface grinding, weld blending, and deburring on stainless steel, carbon steel, and heat-sensitive alloys. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles the mechanical stress of high-contact-pressure passes. It can be run dry or with a lubricant, giving operators flexibility depending on the workpiece material and machine setup. Metal fabricators, maintenance machinists, and welding shops commonly use this belt on wide-belt and stroke sanders.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cut rate and extended belt life versus standard aluminum oxide
• 80 grit provides aggressive stock removal with a consistent scratch pattern
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure applications without delamination
• Built-in grinding aid reduces heat generation when finishing stainless steel
• Durable resin bond resists thermal breakdown and extends usable belt life
• Runs wet or dry, compatible with lubricated and dry grinding setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement coated abrasive belt for wide-belt sanders, stroke sanders, and contact-wheel grinders that accept 158 inch by 6 inch belts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machine operator or maintenance technician following the belt sander manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the belt. Verify belt direction-of-travel arrows align with the machine's drive direction before starting. Inspect the platen, contact wheel, and idler for wear or damage before fitting a new belt.
