3M 7000118387 Coated Abrasive Belt 36 Grit Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000118387 is a coated abrasive cloth belt designed for aggressive stock removal and metal finishing in professional fabrication and grinding applications. It uses a blend of 3M ceramic abrasive grain and aluminum oxide, a combination that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester backing handles high-pressure belt grinding without breaking down, and the durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend belt life. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup, making this belt well suited for work on heat-sensitive metals including stainless steel. It can be run dry or with a liquid lubricant.

This belt is intended for metal fabrication shops, weld grinding, and surface finishing operations where throughput and belt longevity are priorities. At 36 grit, it is positioned for fast material removal rather than fine finishing. The ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend performs consistently across carbon steel, stainless steel, and similar ferrous metals. It is sized at 18 inches long by 3/4 inch wide, fitting belt grinders and file belt machines that accept this dimension.

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and file belt machines that accept an 18-inch by 3/4-inch abrasive belt, suitable for grinding and finishing ferrous metals in fabrication and manufacturing environments.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified personnel following the machine manufacturer's guidelines. Verify the belt grinder or file belt tool is powered off and unplugged before changing belts. Confirm belt tracking and tension after installation and before resuming operation. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when operating abrasive belt equipment.
