3M 7000118450 Abrasive Belt 72x2 Inch P120 Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000118450 is a coated abrasive belt designed for high-demand 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 traditional aluminum oxide abrasives. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding without breaking down, making it suitable for use on ferrous metals, stainless steel, and other industrial workpieces. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during aggressive grinding cycles. Licensed tradespeople and fabrication shop personnel working on metal forming, weld seam removal, and surface preparation are the primary users.

This belt is sized at 72 inches long by 2 inches wide and carries a P120 grit rating, placing it in the medium finishing range. It is suited for applications where a balance of cut rate and surface finish is needed, including stainless steel finishing, carbon steel stock removal, and precision metalworking. The belt can be run dry or with a compatible lubricant, giving operators flexibility based on the sensitivity of the workpiece material. It is sold as a single unit.
