3M 7000118661 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 34x2 Inch Ao Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000118661 is a coated abrasive belt designed for stock removal and metal finishing in demanding shop and fabrication environments. It combines 3M Ceramic Abrasive Grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than standard aluminum oxide belts. The belt measures 34 inches in length and 2 inches in width, runs at 80 grit, and is built on a heavyweight polyester backing that handles high-pressure belt grinding without breaking down. A durable resin bond resists heat deterioration, and a built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup during stainless steel work. Installers, fabricators, and metalworkers use this belt on stationary and portable belt grinders.

This belt is suited for metal fabrication shops, weld grinding, and surface finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It performs well on heat-sensitive materials and can be run dry or with a liquid lubricant depending on the application. The ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend makes it effective for both aggressive stock removal passes and finer metal finishing work. It is a common choice for grinding stainless steel, carbon steel, and similar alloys where heat control and consistent cut rate matter.

Key Features

• Ceramic and aluminum oxide grain blend cuts faster and outlasts traditional aluminum oxide belts
• Heavyweight polyester backing supports high-pressure grinding applications
• Built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup when working stainless steel
• Durable resin bond resists heat deterioration for extended belt life
• Can be run dry or with lubricant for application flexibility
• Produces more parts per belt, reducing changeover frequency

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style coated abrasive belt for stationary and portable belt grinders that accept a 34-inch by 2-inch belt in 80 grit.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and replacement is typically performed by the equipment operator or shop technician. Power down and de-energize the grinder completely before removing or installing any abrasive belt. Confirm belt tracking and tension according to the grinder manufacturer guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or edge damage before each use and replace if defects are found.
