3M 7000118679 Abrasive Belt 80 Grit 10.688x3 Inch Ao Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000118679 is a coated abrasive belt designed for stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide in a blend that cuts faster and lasts longer than conventional aluminum oxide belts. A heavyweight polyester backing handles high-pressure contact and resists heat deterioration. The belt can be run dry or with lubricant, making it suitable for a range of metal grinding tasks. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup, which is especially useful when working stainless steel. At 0.09 pounds per belt, it is a single-piece consumable sized at 10.688 inches long by 3 inches wide at 80 grit.

This belt is used in fabrication shops, metal finishing operations, and maintenance environments where consistent material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals is required. Its ceramic-aluminum oxide grain blend suits applications demanding higher performance than standard aluminum oxide, including stainless steel grinding, weld blending, and surface prep on heat-sensitive metals. It is typically installed on stationary or portable belt grinders and sanders used by metal fabricators, maintenance mechanics, and industrial finishing technicians.
