3M 7100123217 Abrasive Belt 64x4 Inch P60 Grit Silicon Carbide

Product Description

The 3M 7100123217 is a silicon carbide coated abrasive belt designed for grinding, blending, deburring, and finishing operations on metal surfaces. Measuring 64 inches long and 4 inches wide with a P60 grit rating, this belt is built for use on backstands in both wet and dry environments. The abrasive mineral is bonded to a tough polyester cloth backing with a heat-resistant resin system, giving the belt durability under sustained pressure and elevated temperatures. Silicon carbide fractures consistently during use, continually exposing fresh cutting edges and maintaining finish quality throughout the belt's service life.

This belt is suited for metal fabrication and finishing applications in shops and manufacturing environments where consistent surface finish is required. The polyester cloth backing resists water and tearing, making it appropriate for both dry grinding and wet finishing passes. Typical users include metal fabricators, maintenance machinists, and industrial finishing technicians working on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is designed for backstand grinder setups where long belt lengths and controlled pressure are standard practice.

Key Features

• Silicon carbide abrasive fractures consistently, maintaining cut rate and finish quality over the belt's full life

• Water-resistant polyester cloth backing supports both wet and dry applications without tearing or nicking
• Heat-resistant resin bond holds abrasive securely under pressure and elevated operating temperatures
• 64 inch length accommodates standard backstand grinder configurations
• Flexible cloth construction conforms to workpiece contours during finishing passes

Compatibility

Designed for use on backstand grinders accepting 64 inch by 4 inch abrasive belts for metal grinding and finishing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive belt equipment. Power down and lock out the backstand grinder before mounting or removing the belt. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation, and ensure the belt arrow direction aligns with the machine's direction of rotation if marked. Inspect the belt for tears or damage before each use and replace if any defects are found.
