3M 7000118395 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 1x18 Inches Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000118395 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal on metal, wood, and composite surfaces. Built on a polyester cloth backing with YF weight designation, this belt delivers the structural rigidity needed for high-contact grinding applications. The abrasive material is ceramic aluminum oxide, which self-sharpens under pressure to maintain consistent cut rate over the life of the belt. At 80 grit, it falls in the medium grade range, making it suited for stock removal and surface blending rather than fine finishing. Closed coat density means abrasive grain covers the full surface area for maximum cutting efficiency. The belt supports both wet and dry operation.

This belt fits 1 inch wide by 18 inch long belt grinders and finishing machines commonly found in fabrication shops, HVAC sheet metal work, and plumbing pipe prep. The 777F series from 3M is used in industrial and trade environments where consistent performance across a run of parts is required. It is a single-use consumable sold per belt, appropriate for benchtop belt sanders, inline grinders, and similar portable or stationary tooling configured for this belt size.

• 80 grit medium grade handles aggressive stock removal and surface blending
• Closed coat construction maximizes abrasive coverage per square inch
• Polyester cloth backing with YF weight rating resists tearing under load
• Compatible with both wet and dry grinding applications
• 3M 777F series construction for consistent performance across the belt life

Compatibility

Designed to fit belt grinders and sanders configured for a 1 inch wide by 18 inch long abrasive belt. Verify machine specifications for belt length, width, and drive roller contact before installation.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the tool manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and unplug or lockout the machine before changing belts. Inspect the drive roller and tracking mechanism for wear before seating a new belt. Ensure belt travel direction arrow, if present, matches machine rotation before operating.
