3M 7100273300 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 2x48 Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7100273300 is a ceramic-coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Part of the 3M 767F Series, this belt measures 2 inches wide by 48 inches in overall length and carries an 80-grit medium-grade cut. The open-coat construction reduces loading and heat buildup during use. The YF-weight polyester cloth backing provides the flexibility and strength needed for high-pressure belt grinding and finishing applications. At 0.15 pounds per belt, it is well-suited for use on standard 2 x 48 bench-top and portable belt grinders operated by fabricators, pipefitters, and metalworking professionals.

This belt is rated for both wet and dry operation, giving technicians and fabricators flexibility depending on the application. The 767F Series ceramic grain is engineered to fracture during use, continuously exposing fresh cutting edges for consistent stock removal over the life of the belt. Typical applications include weld blending, deburring, surface conditioning, and rough shaping on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is also used in woodworking and fabrication shops where high material removal rates are required before finer finishing steps.

Compatibility

Designed for standard belt grinders and finishing machines that accept a 2-inch wide by 48-inch abrasive belt. Suitable for wet or dry grinding setups on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, wood, and composites.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians familiar with belt grinder operation. Power down and de-energize the grinder completely before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tension adjustment per the grinder manufacturer's guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or edge damage before each use and never operate a damaged belt.
