Tru-maxx 7349 Abrasive Belt 50 Grit 10x70.5 in Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The TRU-MAXX 7349 is a coarse-grit abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on wide-belt sanders and large stationary grinding equipment. Built on a heavy X-weight polyester cloth backing, this belt handles the tension and heat of demanding dry grinding applications without delaminating or stretching. At 50 grit with a closed-coat aluminum oxide abrasive, it cuts fast and consistently across metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Machinists, fabricators, and industrial maintenance techs reach for this belt when rapid stock removal matters more than finish quality. The closed-coat construction keeps abrasive grain density high across the full 10-inch by 70-1/2-inch surface for uniform cutting throughout the belt life.

This belt is sized for wide-belt sanding and grinding machines that accept a 10-inch wide by 70-1/2-inch long belt. Typical applications include surface preparation, weld blending, scale removal, and rough dimensioning of metal or wood workpieces. It is suited to production shop environments, metal fabrication facilities, and industrial maintenance operations where high-volume dry grinding is routine. The coarse 50-grit designation makes it a first-pass tool, typically followed by finer grits for finishing work.

Key Features

• 50 grit aluminum oxide abrasive delivers fast, aggressive stock removal
• Closed-coat construction maximizes grain coverage for consistent cutting action
• X-weight polyester cloth backing resists stretching and heat buildup under load
• Coarse grade rating suited to first-pass material removal and surface prep
• Dry-operation design — not rated for wet or coolant-flooded grinding
• 10 inches wide by 70-1/2 inches long to fit wide-belt sanding and grinding machines

Compatibility

Designed to fit wide-belt sanders and stationary abrasive grinding machines that accept a 10-inch by 70-1/2-inch belt. Verify drive and idler drum width and belt-length specification on the machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Power down and lockout/tagout the machine before changing abrasive belts. Confirm belt tracking adjustment is backed off before seating the new belt over the drums, then re-tension and track according to the machine manufacturer guidelines. Inspect the belt for cracks, tears, or joint separation before operating at full speed. Always run a new belt at no-load for a brief break-in period to confirm proper tracking before applying workpiece pressure.
