3M 7100193988 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 48x6 Inch Cloth

Product Description

The 3M 7100193988 is a Cubitron II 947A abrasive belt designed for grinding and finishing on metal surfaces. Built with 3M Precision-Shaped Grain, the belt slices through material rather than gouging or plowing, which results in faster stock removal and cooler cutting temperatures compared to conventional ceramic abrasive belts. The 120-grit belt measures 48 inches in length and 6 inches in width and features an X-weight poly-cotton backing that provides the flexibility needed for contoured and flat surface work. A built-in grinding aid reduces friction at the contact point, extending belt life and reducing heat transfer to the workpiece.

This belt is engineered for low- to medium-pressure grinding and finishing applications on stainless steel, mild steels, and aluminum. It is well suited for weld blending, surface conditioning, and stock removal tasks in fabrication shops, metal service centers, and maintenance environments. The cooler cutting action makes it appropriate for heat-sensitive materials where discoloration or warping from excessive heat is a concern. Each belt is sold individually. Minimum order quantity is 20 units per the supplier specification.

Key Features

• Precision-Shaped Grain cuts faster and cooler than conventional ceramic abrasive belts
• Built-in grinding aid reduces friction and lowers heat generation at the work surface
• X-weight poly-cotton backing delivers flexibility for contoured and flat grinding applications
• Optimized for low- and medium-pressure applications, reducing operator fatigue
• Cool cutting action reduces risk of heat-related damage such as discoloration or warping
• Extended service life compared to standard ceramic belts, reducing belt change frequency

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and finishing machines accepting 48-inch by 6-inch abrasive belts. Suitable for grinding and finishing stainless steel, mild steels, and aluminum workpieces in low- to medium-pressure applications.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive belt equipment. Confirm the machine is powered off and locked out before mounting or removing the belt. Verify the belt tracking direction arrow aligns with the machine drive direction before starting the grinder. Inspect the belt for tears or damage before each use and replace immediately if the backing or abrasive layer shows signs of failure.
