Product Details
The 3M™ Cloth Belt 577F measures 37" x 60" with 36 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. This 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. A grinding aid reduces running temperatures to protect heat-sensitive alloys such as stainless steel, nickel alloys, and cobalt alloys. The abrasive is resin-bonded to the backing to maintain durability under high heat and pressure. Alumina zirconium frequently fractures to continually produce sharp points, delivering a faster cut rate suitable for heavy stock removal and high-pressure grinding. The belt is available in various widths and lengths to fit industrial belt sanders, with wider belts used for flat finishing and smoothing rough-cut edges on metal sheets, medium-width belts for weld removal and finishing on sheets or coils, and narrow belts for grinding corners and finishing. Typical applications include descaling, flat finishing, high-pressure grinding, intermediate finishing, mill scale removal, plate grinding, sheet grinding, and slab grinding. The product supports metal fabrication in industries such as builders hardware and medical instruments. Warranty terms apply as per 3M's standard policies.
