3M 7000118449 Abrasive Belt 120 Grit 2x132 in Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000118449 is a coated abrasive belt designed for aggressive material removal and fine finishing in demanding grinding and blending applications. Built on a polyester cloth backing with YF backing weight, this belt uses ceramic aluminum oxide grain in a closed coat, fine-grade configuration rated at 120 grit. The closed coat construction delivers consistent cut and finish across the full belt surface. At 2 inches wide and 132 inches long, it fits a range of stationary belt grinders and portable file belt machines used in fabrication and metalworking shops. The belt supports both wet and dry operation, extending usable life in high-heat grinding environments.

This belt is suited for metalworking, weld blending, surface conditioning, and precision stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The ceramic aluminum oxide abrasive is a self-sharpening grain that maintains cut rate longer than standard aluminum oxide, making it a preferred choice for production grinding, tool and die work, and finishing structural steel or stainless components. It is commonly installed on belt grinders, backstand grinders, and file belt attachments used by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator with the machine powered off and locked out per applicable lockout/tagout procedures. Confirm belt tracking alignment before resuming operation and verify the belt arrow or grain direction matches the machine rotation direction when specified. Inspect the belt for damage or defects before mounting. Do not exceed the machine manufacturer rated speed for the belt size in use.
