3M 7100166062 Abrasive Belt 36 Grit 132x2 Inch Cloth

Product Description

The 3M 7100166062 is a Cubitron II 981F abrasive sanding belt built for grinding, weld removal, finishing, and blending on softer metals including aluminum, brass, and bronze. The belt measures 132 inches long by 2 inches wide and cuts at 36 grit. It is constructed on a tough Y-weight polyester cloth backing with 3M Precision-Shaped Grain for fast, consistent stock removal. An integrated dry lubricant and water-resistant construction allow use with liquid coolants, reducing heat buildup and preventing loading during extended grinding operations. Metal fabricators and weld technicians are the primary installers of this belt.

This belt is suited for stationary and portable belt grinders used in metal fabrication shops, welding operations, and maintenance environments. It performs well in applications involving soft non-ferrous metals where loading is a common problem. Typical use cases include weld seam removal, surface blending, and edge finishing on aluminum extrusions, bronze castings, and brass components. The 132-inch by 2-inch format fits grinders and finishing machines that accept this belt size.

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and finishing machines that accept a 132-inch by 2-inch abrasive belt, primarily for grinding and finishing on soft non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, bronze, and brass.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified metal fabricator or equipment operator following the grinder manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and lockout the machine before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Follow applicable OSHA abrasive wheel and grinder safety standards when operating belt grinding equipment.
