3M 7000118391 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 18x1/4 Inch Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000118391 is a coated abrasive belt designed for stock removal and metal finishing in demanding shop environments. It uses a blend of 3M ceramic abrasive grain and aluminum oxide on a heavyweight polyester cloth backing. This grain combination cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. A durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend belt life, and a built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during use on stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. The belt measures 18 inches in length and 1/4 inch in width and runs at 60 grit. It is suited for use with belt grinders and finishing machines operated by metal fabricators and machinists.

This belt is used in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production grinding applications. It handles high-pressure grinding on ferrous and non-ferrous metals and performs well on heat-sensitive materials. The backing supports both dry operation and wet operation with lubricant, giving the operator flexibility depending on the material and finish requirement. It is commonly used in applications where belt life and cut rate directly affect throughput.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cutting and longer belt life than standard aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure grinding applications
• Can be run dry or with lubricant for flexible use across materials
• Grinding aid reduces heat buildup and improves performance on stainless steel
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend service life
• Produces more parts per belt, reducing changeover frequency

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and finishing machines that accept 18 inch by 1/4 inch abrasive belts in coated abrasive applications on metal.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's guidelines for belt tension and tracking. Ensure the grinder or finishing machine is fully de-energized and unplugged before changing belts. Confirm belt direction of travel matches the arrow marked on the belt backing when applicable. Use appropriate eye protection and guards as required by shop safety standards.
