3M 7000118365 Abrasive Belt 132x3 Inch Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7000118365 is a Trizact 307EA coated abrasive belt engineered for intermediate finishing and fine polishing on metal and other surfaces. It uses 3M microreplication technology, forming micron-graded aluminum oxide mineral into uniform three-dimensional pyramids bonded to a flexible rayon cloth backing. As each pyramid wears, fresh sharp mineral is exposed, delivering a consistent cut rate and a predictable, fine surface finish from start to finish. At 132 inches long and 3 inches wide, this belt fits wide-format belt grinders and automated finishing equipment commonly used in fabrication and metalworking environments.

This belt is designed for intermediate and fine finishing operations prior to plating, buffing, or coating. Its flexible rayon backing conforms to contoured and curved workpieces, making it well suited for both flat stock and profiled parts. The three-dimensional abrasive structure performs consistently in robotic and automated belt finishing applications where repeatable surface finish results are required throughout the full belt life. It is installed and used by metalworking professionals, fabricators, and finishing operators in production settings.

Key Features

• Microreplication technology forms aluminum oxide into self-sharpening pyramidal structures for consistent cut and finish
• Self-sharpening design runs cooler than conventional coated abrasives, reducing heat buildup at the workpiece
• Flexible rayon cloth backing conforms to contoured surfaces for uniform contact and consistent material removal
• Three-dimensional abrasive structure maintains predictable finish quality throughout belt life, critical in robotic applications
• Produces finer surface finishes than conventional electrostatically coated abrasive belts
• Suited for intermediate finishing and fine polishing prior to plating or buffing operations

Compatibility

Designed for use on wide-format belt grinding and finishing machines that accept belts measuring 132 inches in length and 3 inches in width. Suitable for metal finishing applications including intermediate stock removal, fine polishing, and pre-plate surface preparation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with abrasive belt equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before changing belts. Confirm the belt tracking direction matches the arrow marked on the belt backing before tensioning. Inspect the contact wheel and platen for wear or damage before mounting a new belt.
