3M 7000118637 Abrasive Belt 60 Grit 360x6 Inch Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000118637 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, a combination that cuts faster and outlasts traditional aluminum oxide belts in production grinding environments. The heavyweight polyester backing supports high-pressure belt grinder operation and can be run dry or with a liquid lubricant. A built-in grinding aid controls heat buildup, making this belt well suited for stainless steel and other heat-sensitive metals. This belt is sized at 360 inches long and 6 inches wide with a 60-grit cut rating.

This belt is used in industrial and fabrication settings where consistent stock removal and extended belt life reduce downtime and changeover frequency. Typical applications include weld grinding, deburring, and surface finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The orange ceramic grain construction is suited for high-production metal fabrication shops, maintenance environments, and anywhere stainless steel finishing is a regular task. A durable resin bond resists heat deterioration over extended run cycles.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend for faster cutting and longer belt life versus standard aluminum oxide
• Heavyweight polyester backing rated for high-pressure grinding applications
• Runs wet or dry, compatible with water-soluble and oil-based lubricants
• Integrated grinding aid reduces heat generation when working stainless steel and heat-sensitive metals
• Resin bond resists thermal breakdown, extending usable belt life in continuous-run applications
• 60-grit cut rating suited for aggressive stock removal and weld blending

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt grinders and finishing machines that accept a 360-inch by 6-inch abrasive belt. Confirm machine drum and platen dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Mounting and tensioning should be performed by a qualified operator following the belt grinder manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and lock out the machine before changing the belt. Ensure the belt arrow or splice direction aligns with the direction of machine rotation. Inspect the contact wheel, platen, and tracking components before running a new belt.
