3M 7100163074 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 72x2 Inch Cubitron Ii

Product Description

The 3M 7100163074 is a coated abrasive belt from the Cubitron II 967F series, engineered for high-pressure grinding on carbon steel, nickel alloys, titanium, and tool steels. It features 3M Precision Shaped Grain bonded to a heavyweight, heat-resistant polyester cloth backing. The triangular grain structure fractures along controlled edges to maintain consistent cut rates throughout the belt's life. At 80 grit, this belt suits aggressive stock removal where surface finish is secondary to throughput. Licensed HVAC, metalworking, and fabrication shops will find this belt appropriate for off-hand and machine grinding operations requiring long run times between belt changes.

This belt measures 72 inches in length and 2 inches in width, sizing it for standard 2 x 72 inch belt grinders and industrial finishing machines. It is designed for dry grinding applications on hard metals including carbon steel, tool steels, and heat-sensitive high-nickel alloys. The heat-resistant grinding aid built into the belt construction helps manage thermal buildup during extended rough grinding passes on titanium and similar alloys. This makes the 7100163074 a practical choice for tool rooms, weld prep operations, and fabrication environments where consistent cut-rate and belt longevity directly affect production output.

Key Features

• 3M Precision Shaped Grain delivers consistent, high cut rates that reduce belt change frequency and increase parts produced per belt
• Heat-resistant grinding aid controls thermal buildup during rough grinding of titanium and high-nickel alloys
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing withstands high contact pressure without tearing or deforming
• 80 grit coarseness suited for aggressive stock removal on carbon steel and tool steels
• Performs in dry off-hand grinding and machine grinding applications

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard 2 x 72 inch belt grinders and compatible industrial abrasive finishing machines. Suitable for grinding carbon steel, nickel alloys, titanium, and tool steels.

Installation Notes

Install with the belt arrow tracking in the correct direction of travel before powering the grinder. Ensure the contact wheel and platen are free of debris before mounting to avoid backing damage. Always wear appropriate PPE including a face shield and grinding gloves when operating abrasive belt equipment. Follow the machine manufacturer's tension specifications for 2 x 72 inch belts.
