3M 7000118451 Coated Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 132x3 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000118451 is a coated abrasive belt designed for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It uses a blend of ceramic abrasive grain and aluminum oxide that cuts faster and lasts longer than standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing holds up under high-pressure grinding conditions and can be run dry or with a lubricant. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during operation, making this belt well suited for heat-sensitive metals such as stainless steel. The durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend service life.

This belt is used in industrial metal fabrication, weld blending, surface conditioning, and general grinding applications. It performs consistently on ferrous and non-ferrous metals and is a strong choice where stainless steel finishing requires controlled heat management. The 132 inch length and 3 inch width fit standard wide-belt and file-belt machines configured for those dimensions. Metalworkers and fabrication shop operators are the primary installers and users of this product.
