Performance Advantages


Trying to lower your abrasive costs? With the versatile new 3M Belt 577F™, you can drastically reduce your belt inventory, processing time AND pressure.

The 577F belt performs well under moderate pressure metalworking applications and is specially coated to grind stainless steel and nickel alloy.

Its excellent shelling resistance enables it to work equally well in moderate pressure forging and aluminum foundry applications, where lubricants can’t be used.

The 577F family of belts can also be used in degating and blending applications.
