3M 7000118442 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit Ceramic 24x1/8 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7000118442 is a coated abrasive belt engineered for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding without breaking down, and the belt runs effectively both dry and with lubricant. A built-in grinding aid controls heat buildup, making this belt well suited for heat-sensitive metals including stainless steel. Licensed metalworkers, fabricators, and industrial maintenance techs are the primary installers and users of this product.

This belt is designed for use on stationary and portable belt grinding equipment in metal fabrication, weld blending, and surface finishing operations. It excels in high-production environments where frequent belt changes reduce throughput. The 24-inch length and 1/8-inch width fit narrow-contact grinding applications. The 60-grit ceramic blend delivers an aggressive cut rate while still leaving a finish suitable for follow-on processing. It is appropriate for both ferrous and heat-sensitive non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cutting and longer belt life versus standard aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure applications
• Runs wet or dry for flexible application use
• Integrated grinding aid reduces heat generation when working stainless steel
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend service life
• Higher parts-per-belt yield reduces changeover frequency in production settings

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style coated abrasive belt for narrow-contact belt grinders and finishing machines that accept a 24-inch length by 1/8-inch width belt configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified metalworking or maintenance personnel following the grinder manufacturer's belt-change procedure. Disengage and lock out power to the grinder before removing or mounting the belt. Verify belt tracking and tension per equipment guidelines before resuming operation. Ensure the selected grit and grain type match the workpiece material and required finish specification.
