  • Product Description
    • Alumina zirconia mineral with grinding aid provides more cutting power than aluminum oxide
    • Available in a range of sizes and grades to fit your specific needs
    • Heavyweight cloth backing provides durability in high-production operations
    • Runs cool for reliable use on heat-sensitive metals like aluminum and stainless steel
    • Tough and versatile alumina zirconia mineral cuts fast and performs well on many substrates
    When traditional aluminum oxide belts aren’t cutting it, try 3M Cloth Belt 577F with alumina zirconia abrasive grain. It offers increased cutting efficiency compared to aluminum oxide, and has a heavy, water-resistant polyester backing that stands up to high-pressure applications and edge work.

    Runs Cool on Heat-Sensitive Metals
    We recommend 3M Cloth Belt 577F for use on aluminum, mild steel, and stainless steel or other exotic metal alloys for dimensioning parts, deburring, blending, and finishing castings and forgings. To protect heat sensitive alloys such as stainless steel, nickel alloys and cobalt alloys, we incorporated a grinding aid on the belt reduces running temperatures. Additionally, the abrasive is firmly bonded to the backing with resin to maintain durability under high heat and pressure. Alumina zirconia fractures frequently to continually produce sharp points and deliver a faster cut-rate than aluminum oxide. A synthetic mineral, it was developed for heavy stock removal and high pressure grinding.

    Sized to Suit Your Needs
    Abrasive belts come in many different widths and lengths and are used on a variety of different belt sanding tools for many different metalworking applications. At 3M we offer a broad selection of belts to fit most any industrial belt sander. Wider belts are used with wide belt sanders and feed-through style flat finishers to smooth rough-cut edges of metal sheets, or add a grain pattern to stainless steel sheets. Medium-width belts are generally used on a backstand for weld removal or for imparting a finish. Narrow belts can be used on file tools to access right angle corners for finishing.

    Applications

    • Deburring
    • Finishing
    • Grinding
    • Surface preparation

    3M Cloth Belt Model

    The 3M Cloth Belt 577F is designed for heavy-duty use with alumina zirconia mineral that cuts faster than aluminum oxide. This model features a Single-flex design, making it versatile for various metalworking tasks.

    Its Film-lok technology ensures the abrasive stays firmly bonded to the backing, maintaining durability under high heat and pressure. This belt is ideal for demanding applications where traditional belts fall short.

    Grade And Weight Benefits

    The 36 YF-weight cloth backing provides a heavyweight, durable base that withstands high-production operations. This grade offers a balance of toughness and flexibility for effective grinding and finishing.

    With alumina zirconia abrasive grain, the belt runs cool on heat-sensitive metals like aluminum and stainless steel, reducing the risk of damage during use. It’s perfect for dimensioning, deburring, and blending metal parts.

    Dimensions And Size

    This belt measures 2-1/2 inches by 60 inches, fitting a wide range of belt sanding tools. The size is suitable for both narrow and medium-width applications, allowing access to corners and larger surface areas alike.

    Its dimensions make it compatible with many industrial belt sanders, from wide belt sanders to file tools. This versatility helps users achieve smooth finishes and precise edge work on various metal substrates.

    Film-lok Format Technology

    The Film-lok system bonds the abrasive grain securely to the cloth backing, enhancing the belt’s lifespan and performance. This technology supports high-pressure grinding without the abrasive flaking off.

    It also helps maintain consistent cutting power throughout the belt’s use, making it reliable for finishing castings, forgings, and other metalworking tasks. The Single-flex format adds flexibility for better handling.

    Pack Count And Usage

    This product comes in a case of 50 belts, sold as 10 packs, ensuring you have enough supply for continuous work. The pack size supports industrial-scale operations where frequent belt changes are necessary.

    These belts are suited for deburring, finishing, grinding, and surface preparation. Having a large quantity on hand helps maintain workflow efficiency and reduces downtime in busy workshops.
