3M 7000118382 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 18x3/4 Inch Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000118382 is a coated abrasive belt designed for stock removal and metal finishing in demanding shop and fabrication environments. It combines 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure belt grinding without breaking down. At 18 inches long and 3/4 inch wide with an 80 grit rating, this belt suits aggressive material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. A built-in grinding aid manages heat buildup, making it especially effective on heat-sensitive alloys such as stainless steel. Licensed trade shops and fabrication professionals are the primary users.

This belt is suited for metal finishing, weld blending, and deburring applications in both production and jobsite settings. The 80 grit designation targets coarse-to-medium stock removal passes before transitioning to finer finishing stages. It can be run dry or with a compatible liquid lubricant, giving operators flexibility across different workpiece materials and machine setups. The durable resin bond resists heat deterioration during prolonged grinding runs, reducing downtime from frequent belt changes.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cut rate and extended belt life compared to standard aluminum oxide
• Built-in grinding aid reduces heat generation when working stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure grinding applications
• Resin bond resists heat deterioration, extending usable belt life
• Can be used dry or with lubricant for versatile application across material types
• Each belt sold individually; minimum order quantity of 200 units applies at the supplier level

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style coated abrasive belt for use on standard belt grinders and finishing machines that accept 18 inch by 3/4 inch belt dimensions.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians familiar with belt grinder operation. Power down and lockout the grinder before changing belts. Confirm belt tracking and tension according to the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or edge damage before each use and replace immediately if defects are found.
