3M 7000118436 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000118436 is a narrow abrasive belt designed for precision grinding, deburring, and finishing in tight or contoured spaces. Built on a polyester cloth backing with a closed-coat layer of ceramic aluminum oxide, this belt delivers consistent stock removal at 80 grit medium grade. The ceramic abrasive material fractures as it wears, continuously exposing fresh cutting edges and extending belt life under sustained use. At 1/8 inch wide and 24 inches long, it fits small-diameter file belt tools and detail sanders commonly used in metalworking, fabrication, and toolroom applications. It supports both wet and dry operation, adding flexibility across different shop setups.

This belt is suited for metalworking professionals and fabricators working on narrow workpieces, weld seams, slots, or detailed surface profiles where wider belts cannot reach. The 777F series construction is intended for demanding grinding tasks on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The closed-coat density keeps the abrasive surface aggressive and consistent throughout the belt life. It is sold individually and is a direct replacement consumable for compatible file-belt power tools used in production shops, maintenance departments, and toolrooms.

Key Features

• Ceramic aluminum oxide abrasive self-sharpens during use for extended belt life
• 80 grit medium grade removes material efficiently while leaving a workable surface finish
• Closed-coat construction maximizes abrasive coverage for consistent cutting action
• Polyester cloth (YF weight) backing resists tearing and flexing under load
• Supports wet and dry operation for versatile shop use
• 1/8 inch width fits narrow file-belt tools for access to slots, contours, and tight radii

Compatibility

Designed as a consumable replacement belt for narrow file-belt power tools and detail sanders that accept 1/8 inch x 24 inch abrasive belts.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified operators familiar with abrasive power tool safety. Power down and unplug the tool before mounting or removing the belt. Confirm the tool spindle speed rating does not exceed the belt's rated maximum surface speed before operation. Inspect the belt for tears or separation at the splice joint before each use and replace if damaged.
