3M 7000118366 Abrasive Belt 132 Inch Ao Cloth Gray

Product Description

The 3M 7000118366 is an aluminum oxide abrasive belt designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing applications in metalworking and fabrication environments. Built on an X weight cloth backing, this belt uses 3M Trizact microreplication technology, where micron-graded aluminum oxide particles are formed into precise three-dimensional pyramids. As the pyramids wear during use, fresh, sharp mineral is continuously exposed. The result is a consistent cut rate and a predictable, fine finish from the start of belt life through to the end. At 132 inches long and 3 inches wide, this belt fits wide-format belt grinders and finishing machines used in production and job-shop settings.

This belt is suited for metalworking operations requiring a controlled, repeatable surface finish before plating or buffing. It performs well on ferrous and non-ferrous metals where finish consistency is critical. The flexible cloth backing conforms to contoured workpieces, making it useful on irregular profiles. The three-dimensional abrasive structure also makes this belt well-matched to robotic and automated finishing lines where uniform results across a full belt run are required. Fabricators, metal finishers, and grinding machine operators are the typical end users.

Key Features

• Trizact microreplication technology forms aluminum oxide into self-sharpening abrasive pyramids
• Consistent cut and finish maintained throughout belt life as fresh mineral is exposed during use
• Runs cooler than conventional abrasives, reducing heat buildup on workpiece
• Flexible X weight cloth backing conforms to contoured and irregular surfaces
• Produces finer finishes than conventional electrostatically coated abrasive belts
• Designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing prior to plating or buffing

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and finishing machines accepting a 132 inch by 3 inch abrasive belt. Suitable for metalworking applications on ferrous and non-ferrous metals requiring controlled surface preparation before plating, buffing, or final finishing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machine operators or finishing technicians. Power down and lock out the belt grinder before mounting or replacing the belt. Verify belt tracking and tension per the machine manufacturer's guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the contact wheel and platen for wear that could affect finish consistency before installing a new belt.
