3M 7000118452 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 90x3 Inch Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000118452 is a coated abrasive belt engineered for high-performance stock removal and metal finishing. It combines 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than traditional aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding applications and runs wet or dry, making it suitable for use with or without cutting lubricants. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup at the contact zone, which is critical when working stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. Licensed trades and fabrication shops installing or finishing metal components rely on this belt for consistent, repeatable results across extended production runs.

This belt is sized at 90 inches in length and 3 inches in width, fitting standard belt grinders and finishing machines used in metal fabrication, weld blending, and surface conditioning. The 80-grit rating positions it for aggressive material removal while still leaving a workable surface finish. It performs well on stainless steel, carbon steel, and other ferrous metals, and is appropriate for both manual and automated belt grinding setups in shop and field environments.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cutting and extended belt life compared to standard aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure applications without backing failure
• Runs wet or dry, compatible with water-based and oil-based cutting lubricants
• Built-in grinding aid reduces heat generation during stainless steel and heat-sensitive metal grinding
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend usable belt life and reduce changeover frequency

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard 3-inch by 90-inch belt grinders and abrasive finishing machines used in metal fabrication and weld finishing applications.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed with the grinder or finishing machine fully powered down and disconnected from its power source. Verify belt tracking and tension according to the machine manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Run at the rated surface speed for the machine and belt size. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling and operating abrasive belts.
