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

Its single-flex format allows for versatile use in various sanding tools. The belt is built to handle high-pressure applications, making it reliable for heavy stock removal and edge work.
Durable Heavyweight Backing
This belt uses a heavyweight cloth backing that ensures durability during high-production operations. The backing is water-resistant polyester, which stands up well to tough conditions and repeated use.
Such a backing supports the belt’s performance on demanding surfaces, providing long-lasting strength and resistance to wear in industrial environments.
Precise Size And Dimensions
The belt measures 2 inches by 72 inches, fitting a wide range of belt sanding tools. This size is ideal for both narrow and medium-width applications, allowing access to tight corners and broader surfaces alike.
Available in a case of 50 belts, this pack size supports continuous work without frequent reordering, making it convenient for industrial use and large projects.
Runs Cool On Metals
3M Cloth Belt 577F runs cool during use, which protects heat-sensitive metals like aluminum and stainless steel. The grinding aid reduces running temperatures, preventing damage to delicate alloys.
This feature makes the belt suitable for dimensioning parts, deburring, blending, and finishing castings and forgings without overheating the material.
Versatile Grinding Applications
The belt is tough and versatile, performing well on many substrates. It’s perfect for deburring, finishing, grinding, and surface preparation tasks across various metalworking jobs.
Its alumina zirconia mineral fractures frequently to maintain sharp cutting points, ensuring fast and efficient stock removal in heavy-duty grinding operations.
