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

3M Cloth Belt Model
The 3M Cloth Belt 577F is designed for demanding metalworking tasks. This model features alumina zirconia mineral with a grinding aid, offering more cutting power than traditional aluminum oxide belts.
Its single-flex construction ensures flexibility, while the Film-lok technology enhances durability. This belt is ideal for heavy-duty applications requiring reliable performance.
Heavyweight Durable Backing
This belt uses a heavyweight cloth backing that stands up to high-production operations. The backing is water-resistant polyester, providing strength and durability under pressure.
Such a backing supports tough grinding tasks and edge work, making the 2 in x 72 in size perfect for various belt sanding tools and industrial applications.
Runs Cool On Metals
3M Cloth Belt 577F runs cool, which is essential when working with heat-sensitive metals like aluminum and stainless steel. The grinding aid reduces running temperatures to protect these alloys.
This cooling effect helps maintain metal integrity during dimensioning, deburring, blending, and finishing castings or forgings, ensuring consistent results.
Sized To Fit
The belt measures 2 inches by 72 inches, fitting a wide range of belt sanding tools. This size is versatile for many metalworking applications, from wide belt sanders to file tools.
Available in a case of 50 belts, this pack size supports high-volume operations, providing a steady supply for continuous use without frequent reordering.
Versatile Grinding Performance
The alumina zirconia mineral cuts fast and performs well on many substrates. It fractures frequently to produce sharp points, delivering a faster cut rate than aluminum oxide belts.
Applications include deburring, finishing, grinding, and surface preparation, making this belt suitable for various metalworking tasks requiring efficiency and durability.
