3M 7100166067 Abrasive Sanding Belt 132x2 Inch 60 Grit

Product Description

The 3M 7100166067 is the Cubitrona II 981F abrasive sanding belt, designed for grinding, weld removal, finishing, and blending on softer metals including aluminum, brass, and bronze. It is built on a tough Y-weight polyester cloth backing and uses 3M Precision-Shaped Grain for fast, aggressive cutting action. A water-resistant construction and integrated dry lubricant allow the belt to run with liquid coolants, reducing heat buildup and preventing loading on non-ferrous metal surfaces. This belt measures 132 inches in length and 2 inches in width at 60 grit. Metal fabricators and industrial finishing technicians are the primary users of this product.

This belt is suited for stationary and portable belt grinding equipment used in metal fabrication, weld blending, and surface finishing applications. It performs on aluminum, bronze, and brass substrates where conventional abrasives tend to load quickly. The 60 grit classification makes it appropriate for stock removal and initial grinding passes before transitioning to finer finishing steps. It is sold individually and is well matched to production environments where belt life and consistent cut rate are priorities.

Key Features

• 3M Precision-Shaped Grain delivers fast cutting on soft metal substrates
• Integrated dry lubricant reduces loading when grinding aluminum, brass, and bronze
• Y-weight polyester cloth backing withstands aggressive grinding and edge contact
• Water-resistant construction supports use with liquid coolants to control grinding temperatures
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration, extending abrasive service life
• Strong mineral adhesion reduces shelling during edge grinding

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and finishing machines that accept a 132-inch by 2-inch abrasive belt. Intended for soft metal substrates including aluminum, brass, and bronze.

Installation Notes

Install and replace abrasive belts only with the grinder or finishing machine powered off and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when changing belts or operating grinding equipment. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines for belt speed ratings to avoid belt failure.
