3M 7000118680 Abrasive Belt 78.75x3 in P120 Ceramic

Product Description

The 3M 7000118680 is a coated abrasive belt designed for demanding stock removal and metal finishing applications. It combines ceramic abrasive grain with aluminum oxide on a heavyweight polyester cloth backing, delivering faster cut rates and longer service life than standard aluminum oxide belts. The durable resin bond resists heat deterioration, extending belt life under sustained load. A built-in grinding aid reduces heat buildup, making this belt well suited for work on heat-sensitive metals including stainless steel. The belt measures 78.75 inches in length and 3 inches in width with a P120 grit rating.

This belt is used in industrial metal fabrication, welding shops, and maintenance environments where high-pressure grinding and finishing are routine. It performs on ferrous and non-ferrous metals and can be run dry or with a compatible lubricant or coolant. Typical applications include weld blending, surface conditioning, and dimensional stock removal on steel, stainless steel, and other metals. It is installed on stationary belt grinders and contact-wheel machines by metalworking technicians and fabricators.
