3M 7000118433 Abrasive Belt 24x0.5 Inch 36 Grit Ao Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000118433 is a coated abrasive belt designed for stock removal and metal finishing on stationary belt grinders and file belt tools. It combines ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than standard aluminum oxide belts. The belt measures 24 inches in length and 1/2 inch in width, runs at 36 grit, and is built on a heavyweight polyester cloth backing rated for high-pressure contact. A resin bond system resists heat deterioration to extend belt service life. A grinding aid is integrated into the construction to reduce heat buildup when working stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals.

This belt is suited for aggressive grinding, blending, and finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in fabrication shops, maintenance environments, and production grinding operations. The 24-inch by 1/2-inch format fits narrow file belt machines and small-contact-wheel grinders commonly used for weld blending, deburring, and contour work. The belt can be run dry or with a compatible liquid lubricant, making it adaptable to both dry grinding setups and wet finishing lines. The orange backing color is standard for this 3M product line.
