3M 7000118476 Abrasive Belt 264x6 Inch 80 Grit Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000118476 is a coated abrasive belt designed for high-demand stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain with aluminum oxide to deliver faster cutting action and longer service life compared to standard aluminum oxide belts. The heavyweight polyester cloth backing handles high-pressure grinding without breaking down, and the belt runs effectively both dry and with lubricant. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during use, making it well suited for heat-sensitive metals including stainless steel. This belt measures 264 inches long by 6 inches wide and carries an 80 grit rating.

This belt is used in fabrication shops, metalworking facilities, and industrial finishing operations where consistent stock removal and extended belt life are priorities. It performs well on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, particularly in applications involving stainless steel, carbon steel, and hard alloys. The durable resin bond resists heat deterioration across sustained grinding cycles, reducing the frequency of belt changes and downtime on the line.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend cuts faster and outlasts traditional aluminum oxide belts
• Built-in grinding aid reduces heat generation, improving performance on stainless steel and heat-sensitive metals
• Heavyweight polyester cloth backing supports high-pressure applications without premature failure
• Runs wet or dry, providing flexibility across different grinding setups and coolant configurations
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration for extended belt life and fewer change-outs
• Produces more finished parts per belt compared to conventional aluminum oxide, lowering consumable cost

Compatibility

Designed for use on wide belt grinders and finishing machines that accept a 264-inch by 6-inch abrasive belt in 80 grit.

Installation Notes

Install on compatible belt grinding or finishing equipment following the machine manufacturer's tracking and tensioning procedures. Ensure the machine is powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the belt. Verify belt direction of travel matches any directional arrows on the backing before startup. When running wet, confirm the lubricant or coolant is compatible with resin-bonded coated abrasives.
