3M 7100162632 Abrasive Belt 132 Inch 3 Inch 40 Grit Cloth

Product Description

The 3M 7100162632 is the Cubitrona II 981F abrasive sanding belt, built for grinding, weld removal, finishing, and blending on softer metals. It measures 132 inches in length and 3 inches in width, with a 40-grit abrasive surface bonded to a tough Y-weight polyester cloth backing. The belt uses 3M Precision-Shaped Grain for fast, consistent stock removal. A durable resin bond resists heat degradation, and the water-resistant polyester construction allows use with liquid coolants. Licensed trades and metal fabricators rely on this belt for high-volume work on aluminum, brass, and bronze substrates.

This belt is intended for use on soft metal substrates including aluminum, bronze, and brass. It is suited for stationary belt grinders and portable grinding setups in fabrication shops, welding operations, and maintenance environments. The integrated dry lubricant minimizes loading when working softer, gummier metals that tend to clog conventional abrasives. The water-resistant material supports wet grinding applications where coolant is used to control heat and extend belt life. It is sold individually (each unit) with a minimum order quantity of 25.

Key Features

• 3M Precision-Shaped Grain delivers fast stock removal on soft metals
• Integrated dry lubricant reduces loading on aluminum, brass, and bronze
• Y-weight polyester cloth backing withstands aggressive grinding and finishing pressure
• Water-resistant construction compatible with liquid coolants for temperature control
• Durable resin bonding resists heat deterioration and extends abrasive life
• Strong mineral adhesion reduces shelling during edge grinding

Compatibility

Designed for use on soft metal substrates including aluminum, brass, and bronze on stationary and portable belt grinders that accept a 132-inch by 3-inch abrasive belt.

Installation Notes

Install on belt grinders rated for the correct belt dimensions before mounting the workpiece. Power down and disconnect the grinder from its power source before changing belts. Confirm belt tracking and tension per the grinder manufacturer guidelines before resuming operation. When using liquid coolants, ensure the work area and equipment are rated for wet grinding.
