3M 7000118454 Abrasive Belt 48x6 Inch 80 Grit Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000118454 is a coated abrasive cloth belt engineered for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It uses a blend of ceramic abrasive grain and aluminum oxide, a combination that cuts faster and lasts longer than standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing is built for high-pressure contact-wheel and platen grinding, and the belt runs equally well dry or with a cutting lubricant. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat generation, making this belt well suited to stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. Licensed trades and fabrication shops use it for weld blending, deburring, and surface conditioning.

This belt is sized at 48 inches long by 6 inches wide with an 80 grit rating, placing it in the medium-to-coarse range for aggressive material removal while still leaving a workable surface finish. It is appropriate for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in fabrication, welding, and heavy metalworking environments. The durable resin bond resists heat breakdown, extending usable belt life and reducing changeover frequency compared to conventional aluminum oxide belts.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cutting and longer belt life than standard aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure grinding applications
• Runs wet or dry for flexibility across metal finishing setups
• Built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup when working stainless steel and heat-sensitive metals
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration to extend belt service life
• 80 grit for aggressive stock removal with a controlled surface finish

Compatibility

Designed for use on contact-wheel and platen belt grinders accepting 48 inch by 6 inch abrasive belts; suitable for ferrous metals, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metal finishing applications.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the grinder manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure the machine is fully de-energized and locked out before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tension before resuming operation, and confirm the belt arrow direction matches the direction of grinder rotation. Always use appropriate eye and face protection and follow applicable shop safety standards during use.
