3M 7000118603 Cloth Band 1x0.75 in 60 Grit Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000118603 is a ceramic grain abrasive cloth band designed for demanding grinding and finishing applications. Built on an X-weight cloth backing, it offers the durability and rigidity needed for aggressive material removal on metals and hard surfaces. The ceramic abrasive grain is resin bonded for heat resistance, and a grinding aid is incorporated into the construction to promote cooler cutting and extend band life. Measuring 1 inch wide by 0.75 inch diameter, this band is suited for use with pneumatic or electric drum sanders and spindle grinders common in fabrication, HVAC, and plumbing trade shops.

This cloth band is intended for use in portable and bench-mounted drum grinding applications. It is well suited for deburring, blending, and surface preparation on pipe ends, metal fittings, and structural components. The 60-grit designation places it in the medium-coarse range, making it effective for stock removal before progressing to finer finishing steps. Trade professionals in mechanical, plumbing, and fabrication settings will find this band useful for prepping copper, steel, and stainless steel surfaces prior to soldering, welding, or coating.
