Product Details
The 3M™ Cloth Belt 577F measures 52" x 75" with a 120 grit alumina zirconium abrasive grain designed for increased cutting efficiency compared to aluminum oxide belts. It features a heavy, water-resistant polyester backing that withstands high-pressure applications and edge work, supporting both wet and dry operations. The belt is recommended for use on aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel, and other exotic metal alloys for dimensioning parts, deburring, blending, and finishing castings and forgings. It includes a grinding aid to reduce running temperatures when working with heat-sensitive alloys such as stainless steel, nickel alloys, and cobalt alloys. The abrasive is firmly bonded to the backing with resin for durability under high heat and pressure. Alumina zirconia fractures frequently to continually produce sharp points, offering faster cut rates and is developed for heavy stock removal and high-pressure grinding. The belts come in various widths and lengths compatible with industrial belt sanders: wider belts for wide belt sanders used for flat finishing and smoothing rough-cut metal sheet edges, medium-width belts for backstands or feed-thru style flat finishers for weld removal or finishing sheets and coils, and narrow belts for backstands or file tools to access right-angle corners. Typical applications include descaling, flat finishing, high-pressure grinding, intermediate finishing, mill scale removal, plate grinding, sheet grinding, and slab grinding. Industries served include builders hardware, medical instruments, and metal fabrication. Warranty terms apply as specified by 3M.
