3M 7100164952 Abrasive Sanding Belt 40 Grit 24x0.5 Inch Cloth

Product Description

The 3M 7100164952 is a Cubitrona II Precision-Shaped Grain abrasive cloth belt engineered for grinding, weld removal, finishing, and blending on soft metal substrates. Built on a tough Y-weight polyester cloth backing, the belt uses 3M Precision-Shaped Grain to deliver fast, consistent stock removal. An integrated dry lubricant reduces loading during use, and the water-resistant polyester construction supports operation with liquid coolants to manage heat and extend belt life. This belt measures 24 inches in length and 1/2 inch in width at 40 grit.

This belt is designed for fabrication and metalworking applications involving aluminum, brass, and bronze. It performs in grinding, weld seam removal, surface blending, and finishing passes where soft metal workpieces require controlled, fast-cutting abrasion. The 40-grit designation makes it appropriate for aggressive stock removal and initial surface prep. Metalworking shops, weld fabricators, and maintenance technicians working on non-ferrous components will find it suitable for both bench-mounted and portable belt grinding equipment.

• Water-resistant Y-weight polyester cloth backing supports use with liquid coolants
• Durable resin bond resists heat-related deterioration to extend abrasive life
• Strong mineral adhesion reduces shelling when grinding on the belt edge
• Suited for grinding, weld removal, blending, and finishing operations

Compatibility

Designed for use on soft metal substrates including aluminum, brass, and bronze; compatible with belt grinding equipment accepting a 24-inch by 1/2-inch abrasive belt.

Installation Notes

Install on belt grinders or sanders that accept the 24-inch by 1/2-inch belt size, ensuring the machine is powered down and unplugged before changing abrasives. Confirm belt tracking and tension per the equipment manufacturer guidelines before resuming operation. When using liquid coolants, verify the coolant is compatible with the workpiece material and that the machine is rated for wet grinding use.
